INTERIM ORDER CONTINUING

HEARING ON DEFENDANT F.W. SPENCER

& SON, INC.’S MOTION TO COMPEL

PLAINTIFF ADVANCED MICROTHERM, INC.

TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF ADVANCED

MICROTHERM TO PROVIDE FURTHER

RESPONSES TO SPECIAL

INTERROGATORIES 1-16; AND DENYING

REQUEST FOR SANCTIONS

On December 30, 2009, Defendant F.W. Spencer & Son, Inc. (“Spencer”) filed a Motion to

Compel Plaintiff Advanced Microtherm, Inc. to Provide Further Responses to Special Interrogatories

1-16 and Request for Sanctions. Plaintiffs opposed the motion. Having reviewed the papers

submitted by the parties, the court finds it appropriate to issue this interim order. Based on the

moving, opposition and reply papers, and the file herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Spencer’s motion to compel further responses to

interrogatories is CONTINUED to March 23, 2010. Many of Defendant Spencer’s complaints about

Plaintiff’s responses to interrogatories are similar to Defendant Norman Wright’s complaints about

Plaintiff’s responses to interrogatories. The court finds that judicial economy will best be served by

deferring hearing on Defendant Spencer’s motion to compel until after hearing and ruling on

Defendant Norman Wright’s motion to compel, and an opportunity for Plaintiff and Spencer to meet
