(REEVES/GUYTON)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Rules of this Court,
and Standing Order 13-02. The parties appeared for a telephone conference on May 20, 2014, to
address a discovery dispute. Attorney J. Lewis Kinnard appeared on behalf of the Plaintiff.
Attorney Latisha J. Stubblefield appeared on behalf of the Defendant.
The Defendant initiated the hearing based upon the Plaintiff providing incomplete and/or
insufficient responses to the Defendant’s Interrogatories and Request for Production of
Documents. Attorney Stubblefield explained that some of the Plaintiff’s responses needed to be
supplemented as they were insufficient and/or evasive. In addition, she stated that documents
were requested related to the Plaintiff’s damages and were never provided. As a result, Attorney
Stubblefield asks that the Plaintiff be directed to supplement his responses. Attorney Kinnard
stated that he has recently spoken with his client who has been working out of state and that at
this point it should no longer be a problem to supplement the discovery responses within two
weeks.

The Court finds that the Defendant has not received full and complete responses to its
Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS
the Defendant’s request, and the Plaintiff is instructed to supplement his discovery responses on
or before June 4, 2014. In addition, the Court DIRECTS Attorney Kinnard to obtain the
Plaintiff’s availability so that Plaintiff’s deposition may be scheduled to take place within the
next two to three months.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
