WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HOT SPRINGS DIVISION

LEASA R. HACKETT PLAINTIFF

 v. Case No. 05-cv-6024

ARLINGTON HOTEL CO., INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY 

Before the undersigned is the motion of the defendant for an order compelling the

plaintiff to respond to discovery requests. (Doc. #10) From the motion, the brief in support and

the record herein, it is found and ordered as follows:

1. On January 17, 2006, defendant served upon the plaintiff its motion to compel

accompanied by a brief in support thereof. (Doc. #10 & 11) Defendant alleges that it served

upon plaintiff interrogatories and request for production of documents on October 13, 2005, but

that plaintiff has not responded to the interrogatories or the request for production of documents

in the time provided by law.

2. Defendant further alleges that it has attempted to resolve this discovery dispute

without the intervention of the court but that this has proven impossible.

3. As of the date of entry of this order, the plaintiff has failed to file a response to the

motion to compel.

4. Defendant’s motion to compel has been referred to the undersigned for disposition.

(Doc. #12))

5. Rule 7.2(b), Rules of the United States District Court for the Western District of

Arkansas provides that any party opposing a motion shall serve and file with the clerk a concise

statement in opposition to the motion within eleven days from the date the motion was served

upon that party.

6. Rule 7.2(f), Rules of the United States District Court for the Western District of

Arkansas provides that the “failure to timely respond to any nondispositive motion, as required

by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, or by any local

rule, shall be an adequate basis, without more, for granting the relief sought in said motion.”

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS FOUND AND ORDERED that the defendants’ motion to

compel discovery should be and is granted. The plaintiff is ordered to serve upon the defendant

complete responses to the defendant’s discovery requests within eleven (11) days of the date of

this order.

FURTHER, the defendant should be and is hereby awarded its costs with respect to this

motion as against the plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED this the 31st day of February 2006.
