IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HARRISON DIVISION

KELWIN DEWAYNE ADAMS PLAINTIFF

v. Civil No. 06-3074 

ALVIN DALE BOLEN; Transport

Officer; EDDIE WHITMIRE; Deputy;

DONALD KOPPENHAVENER, Investigator; and

BRIAN STOCKTON, Jail Administrator, all

of the Searcy County Detention Center DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On June 8, 2007, defendants filed a motion to compel answers to discovery requests (Doc. 15).

Defendants state they propounded interrogatories and requests for production of documents to the plaintiff

on March 22, 2007. To date, defendants state they have not received plaintiff’s responses or any

communication from the plaintiff regarding his responses.

Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff had thirty (30) days to respond to the

discovery requests. Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(3) & 34(b). Plaintiff did not request an extension of time to

respond to the discovery requests. Therefore, plaintiff has failed to respond in the time provided by law.

Accordingly, defendants’ motion to compel is granted. Plaintiff is directed to provide

defendants with the required responses to the discovery requests by 5:00 p.m. on July 3, 2007. By

order entered on March 28, 2007 (Doc. 13), the court had directed the defendants to file a summary

judgment motion by July 13, 2007. As defendants will no doubt need the discovery responses from the

plaintiff to file their summary judgment motion, defendants are given an extension of time until August

31, 2007, to file their summary judgment motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of June 2007.
