THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on “Plaintiff Randolph A Watterson’s
Motion To Compel Discovery” (Document No. 150) filed on August 15, 2016. The pending
motion has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and
immediate review is appropriate.

Having carefully considered the motion, the record, and

applicable authority, the undersigned will grant the motion.
Notably, Defendant Jason Green has not filed a response to the motion, and the time to do
so has lapsed. See Local Rule 7.1(E). Plaintiff’s motion indicates that Defendant Green’s counsel
represented that discovery responses would be provided no later than August 19, 2016. (Document
No. 150 p.2). However, with no response or other notice on the record, there is no evidence before
the Court that the promised discovery has been provided.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that “Plaintiff Randolph A Watterson’s Motion To
Compel Discovery” (Document No. 150) is GRANTED. Defendant Green shall provide complete
discovery responses to Plaintiff on or before September 12, 2016.

The Clerk of Court is further directed to send a copy of this Order to pro se Plaintiffs, and
the pro se Defendant, at the addresses listed on the docket for the case by certified U.S. Mail,
return receipt requested.
SO ORDERED.
Signed: September 7, 2016
