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.
This case came before the Court on November 20, 2014, for a telephonic discoverydispute conference conducted pursuant to the Scheduling Order. Counsel for the Plaintiffs
represented that the Plaintiffs served interrogatories and requests for production on the
Defendants in August and responses thereto were originally due in September. Counsel agreed
that the Plaintiffs agreed to afford Defendants an extension of their response time through
approximately October 20, 2014.
Counsel for the Defendants conceded that the Defendants’ responses were now a month
late, but counsel noted that a variety of factors had contributed to the Defendants’ delay in
responding.
The Court has considered the parties’ positions. The Court finds that the Defendants
have failed to timely answer the interrogatories and respond to the requests for production. The
Defendants are ORDERED to fully answer the interrogatories and respond to the requests for
production on or before December 8, 2014.
The Defendants are ADMONISHED that failure to fully and completely answer the
interrogatories and respond to the requests for production may result in the imposition of
sanctions pursuant to Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
IT IS SO ORDERED.
