ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion to Compel [# 61]. Defendant CMC
II, LLC (“Defendant”) moves to compel Plaintiff to respond to Defendant’s First
Set of Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents. Defendant
served Plaintiff with its discovery requests on August 15, 2016. As of November
14, 2016, the date Plaintiff responded to the Motion to Compel, Plaintiff had not
yet responded to Defendant’s discovery requests. Plaintiff contends that time
constraints have prevented her from responding in a timely manner.
Upon a review of the pleadings and the record in this case, as well as the
relevant legal authority, the Court GRANTS the motion [# 61]. Plaintiff has now
had approximately three months to respond to discovery in this case, and the
discovery deadline is fast approaching. Moreover, Defendant is entitled to have
responses to its discovery in order to effectively depose Plaintiff. The Court

DIRECTS Plaintiff to respond fully to the discovery requests by November 28,
2016. The failure to comply with this Order may result in the imposition of
sanctions against Plaintiff. The Court also extends the discovery deadline in this
case until December 15, 2016.
