ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

TO COMPEL AS MOOT

(Documents 22, 23)

Plaintiff Jamar Evans (“Plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se in this action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On October 23, 2007, Plaintiff noticed a motion to compel responses to discovery. He

filed a memorandum of points and authorities in support of his motion on November 8, 2007,

arguing that Defendant failed to respond to his discovery requests. The motion is set for hearing

on December 14, 2007.

The evidence before the Court, however, shows that Defendant has provided Plaintiff

with responses and objections to discovery. Responses and objections were initially served on

September 12, 2007. Declaration of Kenneth R. Hedberg, ¶ 3. On November 16, 2007, after

receiving notice of Plaintiff’s motion to compel, Defendant sent Plaintiff a correspondence

enclosing a second copy of the responses and objections. Declaration of Kenneth R. Hedberg, ¶

10.

As Plaintiff’s motion was based on a complete failure to respond, his motion is therefore

DENIED AS MOOT. Defendant’s request for sanctions is DENIED. The hearing on December

14, 2007, is taken off calendar. Should Plaintiff wish to challenge the sufficiency of the

responses, he may do so in a new motion. See Local Rule 37-251. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
