____________________________________)

Defendant Champion Enterprises, Inc. (“Defendant”) filed the instant motion to

compel on December 31, 2007. Pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(h), the Court deemed the

matter suitable for decision without oral argument.

Defendant is seeking responses to its First Set of Requests for Production of

Documents and First Set of Interrogatories. Plaintiff Michael Martin (“Plaintiff”) filed

insufficient responses to the request for production of documents and failed to provide any

responses to the request for interrogatories. In the parties’ joint statement, Plaintiff’s counsel

stated that he did not dispute Defendant’s contentions and would respond to discovery “at or

before the hearing set for January 25, 2008.” Plaintiff has not done so.

Accordingly, Defendant’s motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall provide responses,

without objection, to the requested discovery. Pursuant to the Declaration of Gilbert Tsai
