1. Defendant’s motion to compel (ECF No. 36) is GRANTED.

2. Plaintiff shall produce supplemental responses to defendant’s Special Interrogatories 

numbers 1 through 7 and Requests for Production numbers 1 through 30 by no later 

than the discovery deadline of June 3, 2016, unless the parties stipulate to extend the 

discovery deadline and such a stipulation is approved by the presiding district judge, 

in which case plaintiff shall produce his supplemental responses by no later than 10 

days after the date on which an order resolving defendant’s pending motion for 

judgment on the pleadings (ECF No. 37) is issued, provided that proceedings in this 

action are to continue after that order is issued.1

3. The court declines to address the issue of any expenses to which defendant may be 

entitled pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(a)(5)(A) at this time. 

However, the court is open to taking into account such expenses relating to the present 

motion to compel when considering any future discovery motion filed by defendant in 

this action regarding plaintiff’s failure to properly supplement his responses to the 

discovery requests currently at issue.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 27, 2016

 

1 Before filing any stipulated request to extend the discovery deadline in this action, the parties 

should note that the proposed extended discovery deadline will need to fall on a date after the 

currently scheduled hearing date for defendant’s pending motion for judgment on the pleadings 

and should take into account any additional time necessary for the district judge to issue a ruling 

on that motion and for plaintiff to comply with the present order, if necessary.
