UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KIMEKA SIMMONS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

BAUER RENTALS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:23-cv-00523-JLT-SAB

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION 

TO COMPEL FURTHER DISCOVERY 

RESPONSES AS MOOT

ORDER VACATING MARCH 27, 2024 

AND APRIL 22, 2024 HEARING DATES 

(ECF Nos. 10, 14)

On October 24, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a motion to compel further discovery responses. 

(ECF No. 10.) On January 10, 2024, the parties filed a joint statement regarding the discovery 

disagreement. (ECF No. 11.) The Court heard the motion on January 24, 2024 and, after 

discussion on the record, the parties agreed to continue the hearing until March 27, 2024 to allow 

time to produce requested information and meet and confer. Plaintiffs agreed to inform the 

Court if their requests were satisfied in the interim and, if so, would request the continued 

hearing date be taken off calendar. On March 25, 2024, the Court ordered the parties to file a 

status report regarding the remaining discovery issues that required an order from the Court. 

(ECF No. 13.)

On March 25, 2024, Plaintiff filed a motion to withdraw their motion to compel further 

discovery responses and set a hearing on the matter on April 22, 2024. (ECF No. 14.) In their 

instant motion, Plaintiffs submit that the motion to withdraw is made on the grounds that

Defendants have provided adequate responses to the discovery requests. (Id. at 2.) Given 

Plaintiffs have received compliance with their motion, the Court finds the appropriate action is to 

construe Plaintiffs’ motion to withdraw as a status report regarding compliance with their motion 

to compel. Consequently, Plaintiffs’ motion to compel further discovery responses is now moot 

and is denied on that basis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiffs’ motion to withdraw (ECF No. 14) is construed as a status report regarding 

compliance with the motion to compel further discovery responses and the hearing set 

for April 22, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 9 is VACATED; and

2. Plaintiffs’ motion to compel further discovery responses (ECF No. 10) is denied as 

moot and the continued hearing set for March 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 9,

is VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 26, 2024
