ORDER GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL [14] AND 

DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 2ND MOTION TO COMPEL [23] 

Before the Court are Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel (docket no. 14) and Plaintiff’s Second 

2nd Motion to Compel (docket no. 23.) The Motions were referred to the undersigned for 

consideration. (Docket nos. 16 and 24.) At issue in the Motions were Plaintiff’s Requests for 

Production Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 7, Plaintiff’s Interrogatory Nos. 1, 2, and 3, and the depositions of two 

non-party witnesses. The Court held a hearing on December 8, 2015. Before the hearing, the 

parties informed the Court that they had resolved their issues with regard to Request for Production 

Nos. 3 and 5, which implicitly resulted in a resolution of their issues with regard to Interrogatory 

No. 3. During the hearing, the parties were able to reach a consensus with regard to some of the 

remaining issues, which will be included in this order. Thus, for the reasons stated on the record, 

the Court enters the following order. 

 IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel [14] is GRANTED IN PART AND 

DENIED IN PART as follows:
