ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on “Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel...” (Doc. 71) filed
October 17, 2012 and “Defendants’ Amended Response to Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel” (Doc. 74)
filed on November 2, 2012.
The Court has carefully examined the record, the parties’ arguments and the applicable
authorities. Based upon Defendants’ commitment to produce the outstanding discovery no later
than November 12, 2012, chambers staff contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel to confirm that discovery had
been provided. Plaintiffs’ counsel reported that Defendants responded to the July 18, 2012
discovery requests on November 21, 2012, but that there was still no response to the August 17,
2012 requests. Consequently, the Court will GRANT Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Discovery and
order that Defendants respond fully to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests within fourteen (14) days
from the date of this Order.
The Court warns Defendants and their counsel that any failure to respond to Plaintiff’s Third
Set of Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents, or to otherwise comply fully with
any of the Court’s Orders, the Local Rules, or the Rules of Civil Procedure may result in the
imposition of sanctions.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1.

Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel is GRANTED.

2.

Defendants are ordered to respond fully to Plaintiffs’ Third Set of Interrogatories and
Request for Production of Documents within fourteen (14) calendar days from the
date of this Order.

SO ORDERED.
