ORDER

Plaintiff has filed a motion asking the court to compel defendant Her to answer certain 

questions related to this case and provide plaintiff with certain documents and recordings. First, 

plaintiff has not provided anything to the court indicating that he sought these materials through a 

request for discovery authorized by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Second, the motion is 

dated November 12, 2015. In the court’s June 23, 2015 discovery and scheduling order, the 

parties were informed that the deadline for filing motions to compel discovery was October 9, 

2015. Plaintiff never sought, nor received, an extension of time to conduct discovery or file a 

motion to compel.1

conduct discovery or file a motion to compel. The court might be inclined to reopen discovery if
