Case No. 5:14-cv-03600-EJD

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

COMPEL AND MOTION FOR 

SANCTIONS

(Re: Docket Nos. 32, 33)

 Defendant Delta Air Lines, Inc. moves to compel Plaintiff Solomon Abate to provide 

complete responses to Delta’s requests for production of documents. Delta also moves for 

sanctions in the form of $4,820 in attorneys’ fees it incurred in filing the motion to compel. Abate 

did not oppose either motion; nor did Abate appear for today’s hearing on them. In light of 

plaintiff’s failure to produce discovery, file any oppositions or appear for the hearing, the court 

GRANTS both of Delta’s motions.1

 

1 If a motion to compel is granted, the prevailing party may recover expenses, including attorneys’ 

fees, unless “the opposing party’s nondisclosure, response, or objection was substantially justified” 

or “other circumstances make an award of expenses unjust.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5). The court 

declines to award any additional fees for counsel’s appearance at today’s hearing.
