Case No. 3:12-cv-00982

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSES TO
DEFENDANT’S DISCOVERY REQUESTS, PLAINTIFF’S DEPOSITION AND FOR
SANCTIONS FOR PLAINTIFF’S REFUSAL TO RESPOND TO DISCOVERY
REQUESTS AND/OR ATTEND HIS DEPOSITION
Defendant Sonic Restaurants, Inc. (hereinafter “Sonic”), files its Motion to Compel
Plaintiff’s Responses to Defendant’s Discovery Requests, Plaintiff’s Deposition and for
Sanctions for Plaintiff’s Refusal to Respond to Discovery Requests or Attend his Deposition.
Pursuant to Rules 37 and 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendant seeks
dismissal of this matter, or in the alternative, an order compelling discovery and extending the
dispositive motion deadline. Additionally, Defendant seeks costs and attorneys’ fees it has
incurred in pursuing this action. Defendant’s Memorandum in Support/Written Statement of
Matters at Issue in Discovery Dispute is attached hereto.
Defendant certifies that it has, in good faith, conferred with Plaintiff (who is proceeding
pro se ) in an attempt to secure Plaintiff's responses to said discovery requests and his deposition
without this Court's intervention. Defendant’s efforts have been unsuccessful.
