ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the pro se Plaintiff’s “Motion to Compel”
(document # 13) filed December 24, 2015, as well as the parties’ briefs and exhibits.
Plaintiff seeks production of a “dash cam video” taken by Defendant Bignall on April 30,
2011 at 2:16 a.m. In their Response, Defendants Bignall and Charlotte Mecklenburg Police
Department represent that the video was included in their Rule 26 initial disclosures.

See

document #15. In his Reply, Plaintiff states that he has received a disk but it contains “no visual
footage, only data showed.”
Because Defendants concede that the dash cam video is properly discoverable, Plaintiff’s
Motion will be granted.

NOW IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff’s “Motion to Compel” (document # 13) is GRANTED. Within fourteen days
of this Order, Defendants shall produce the video referenced above in an accessible format.

If

Defendants have already produced that video, they may fulfill their obligation under this Order
by serving Plaintiff with a verified discovery response in that regard.
2. The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff, counsel for
Defendants, and to the Honorable Robert J. Conrad, Jr.
SO ORDERED.

Signed: February 23, 2015
