Order on Motion to Compel
Wed 10/25 11:18 AM
** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** On October 24, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery (dkt.30 ) to which it attached a copy of defendant's responses in which defendant's counsel refused to provide any information whatsoever because "plaintiff submitting this discovery does not have standing.. to bring this action, and therefore is not entitled to serve discovery." Counsel indicates that it will revisit its response if necessary after obtaining rulings on its pending motions to dismiss. See dkt.31 . Discovery in this case began on August 17, 2017, following the preliminary pretrial conference and it has not been stayed by the court. Defendant did not ask for a stay of discovery in either of its pending motions to dismiss. As a starting point, the court cannot discern what defendant actually gains by baldly refusing to participate in discovery. Even if both of defendant's pending motions were to be granted, these rulings would not dispose of this lawsuit on its merits: this case would simply continue in a different court with a different plaintiff that is inextricably intertwined with the current plaintiff (who has a motion to substitute parties pending), and defendant still would have to provide the requested discovery. More saliently, at this juncture in this case in this court, defendant has improperly arrogated to itself this court's case management prerogatives and in the process defendant has violated this court's preliminary pretrial conference order (dkt.21 ) and F.R. Civ. Pro. 1. Plaintiff's motion to compel discovery is GRANTED without the need for a response. It is ORDERED that forthwith--meaning as soon as possible, and not later than noon on November 1, 2017-- defendant shall provide full responses to all of plaintiff's pending discovery demands or face sanctions under F.R. Civ. Pro. 37(b). Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 10/25/2017. (jls) |
