ORDER

On December 8, 2006, defendants filed a motion to compel answers to discovery requests

(Doc. 14). Defendants state they propounded interrogatories and requests for production of

documents to the plaintiff on October 2, 2006. Defendants further contend that additional

correspondence regarding plaintiff's past-due discovery responses was sent on November 8, 2006.

However, to date, defendants state they have not received plaintiff’s responses.

Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff had thirty (30) days to respond to the

discovery requests. Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(3) & 34(b). Plaintiff did not request an extension of time

to respond to the discovery requests. Therefore, plaintiff has failed to respond in the time provided

by law.

Accordingly, defendants’ motion to compel is granted. Plaintiff is directed to provide

defendants with the required responses to the discovery requests by 5:00 p.m. on December 26,

2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 11th day of December 2006.
