Filing 31

ORDER granting 26 Motion to Compel and granting 28 Motion for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery. Signed by Magistrate Judge Robert T. Numbers, II on 4/19/2019. Copy sent via US Mail to Eunice Barnwell at 2257 Chasewater Rd., Fayetteville, NC 28306. (Stouch, L.)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
WESTERN DIVISION
No. 5:16-CV-00694-BO
Eunice Barnwell,
Plaintiff,
v.

Order

Foot Locker Retail, Inc., et al.,
Defendants.

This matters comes before the court upon Defendant Foot Locker’s motions to compel
discovery and motion to extend discovery deadlines. D.E. 26, 28.
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, has not filed a response to the motion to compel
indicating that she opposed it or challenges the allegations that she has not provided full responses
to the discovery requests.
The motion to extend discovery deadlines avers that Barnwell’s refusal to provide full
responses to Foot Locker’s discovery requests has impeded its ability to proceed through the
discovery and schedule her deposition. Barnwell has not filed a response to this motion disputing
Foot Locker’s allegations.
For good cause shown, the motions (D.E. 26, 28) are granted. Barnwell shall provide full
responses to Foot Locker’s first set of interrogatories and requests for production of documents no
later than May 3, 2019. If Barnwell does not comply with this order, the court may impose
sanctions against her up to and including dismissal of her Complaint.
The Scheduling Order (D.E. 23) is amended as follows:
1. All discovery shall be completed on or before May 29, 2019.

2. The parties may file dispositive motions on or before June 25, 2019.
All other provisions of the Scheduling Order remain in effect.
Dated: April 17, 2019.
