CHRISTOPHER KYLE PRATER,

Plaintiff,

v.

IRVIN GOODWIN, HVEHF VETERAN 

CENTER,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:14-cv-04876-HRL

ORDER RE DEFENDANTS' 

DISCOVERY DISPUTE JOINT 

REPORTS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 44-46

The court rules on defendants’ pending Discovery Dispute Joint Reports (DDJRs) as 

follows:

Defendants’ DDJR No. 1 seeks an order compelling plaintiff to respond to their 

interrogatories. Subsequent filings by plaintiff, however, indicate that he served supplemental 

responses after this DDJR was filed. Defendants have not advised that they take issue with the 

supplemental responses. Accordingly, DDJR No. 1 is denied as moot.

Defendants’ DDJR No. 2 seeks an order compelling plaintiff to produce documents 

responsive to their requests. Given the current posture of these proceedings, however, it is not 

apparent that defendants continue to pursue this discovery. Accordingly, DDJR No. 2 is denied as 

moot, unless defendants advise that they are still interested in obtaining this discovery.

Defendants’ DDJR No. 3 seeks an order compelling non-party Marianne Deschaine to

appear for deposition pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45. Defendants have persuaded that Deschaine’s 

deposition is relevant and proportional to the needs of the case. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). 

However, unless defendants advise that they are still pursuing this discovery, DDJR No. 3 is 

denied as moot for the same reasons stated in connection with DDJR No. 2.

SO ORDERED.
