FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

PATRICKA AMOS, 

Plaintiff,

 v.

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, L.L.C.,

Defendant. /

NO. 05-03412 JW (RS)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION

TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF

DOCUMENTS

This is an action under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq. and

state law alleging that defendant Capital Accounts, L.L.C. violated various statutory provisions

while attempting to collect an alleged debt. Plaintiff Patricka Amos moves for an order compelling

Capital to produce documents responsive to the document requests contained in “Plaintiff’s

Discovery Set I,” served December 27, 2005. The Court finds this matter suitable for disposition

without oral argument, pursuant to Local Rule 7-1 (b).

The document requests at issue consist of 28 requests for materials relating either to Capital’s

specific dealings with Amos or to Capital’s general procedures and practices in collecting debts. 

Capital did not object to any of the requests. In opposition to this motion, Capital submits a

statement from its counsel asserting that 1) Capital is “struggling financially,” 2) its officer “has

been extremely busy and has been diligently searching for documents while at the same time trying

to keep the business afloat,” and 3) Capital “did not possess an adequate filing system” at the time

this action arose. Capital asserts, however, that it “desires to produce as much documentation as

possible to defend this action.” Capital makes no representations as to when, if ever, it will be able

to produce documents, but it nonetheless requests that this motion be denied. Such an unsupported

request is wholly inadequate.

 Good cause appearing therefore, the motion is GRANTED. Capital shall produce all

responsive documents in its possession, custody, or control within 20 days of the date of this order. 

Failure to comply with this court order shall be grounds for the imposition of evidentiary or

monetary sanctions or both.
