On January 25, 2010, the Court issued a second order to show cause in this matter regarding

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with his discovery obligations, and his general failure to prosecute. 

(Dkt. #25.) Although Plaintiff did not respond to the OSC as ordered, Plaintiff’s counsel appeared

on his behalf at the February 18, 2010 hearing. So that this case may proceed on the merits, the

Court hereby DISCHARGES the January 25, 2010 OSC. Based on discussions at the hearing, the

Court hereby ORDERS as follows:

1) Plaintiff shall respond to and produce all outstanding discovery by March 10, 2010;

2) Plaintiff’s deposition shall take place on March 24 and 25, 2010, subject to the

interpreter’s availability. The only reason the deposition may not go forward is if the

interpreter is unavailable;

3) Defendant’s counsel shall e-file a proposed order regarding SSA and the release of

Plaintiff’s medical records from Dr. Lee. Plaintiff shall ensure that any necessary

release authorizations, both from himself and SSA, are submitted to Dr. Lee by

February 25, 2010;
