ORDER

This case is presently before the Court upon pro se Plaintiff David Hamilton’s
Renewed Motion to Compel Discovery (Doc. #34), and the record as a whole.
Plaintiff asserts that counsel for the Defendants “acknowledged receiving [his]
discovery requests during a telephone conference with the Court,” and that “28 days have
elapsed and Plaintiff has received no response from Defendant nor has Defendant filed a
request for protective order.” (Doc. #34 at 1). On April 12, 2012, this Court Ordered
Defendants “to respond to Plaintiff’s Renewed Motion to Compel (Doc. #34) on an
expedited basis, in light of the upcoming trial date.” (Doc. #35). Defendants’ Response
was due on or before April 27, 2012. To date, Defendants have not filed a response and
the time for doing so has expired.
Plaintiff’s Renewed Motion to Compel (Doc. #34) is therefore GRANTED and
Defendants ORDERED to provide the requested discovery on or before May 8, 2012.

Defendants are placed on notice that failure to abide by this Order may result in
the imposition of sanctions.

May 1, 2012
