PRISONER CIVIL NO. 3:01CV2166 (JCH)(HBF)

AUGUST 16, 2004

DEFENDANTS' OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS TO COMPEL DATED AUGUST 3, 2004 On August 3, 2004, the plaintiff, a pro se inmate, filed seven (7) separate motions to compel discovery from the defendants (Docket Nos. 94-100). The defendants have, in fact, responded to the multitude of discovery requests filed by the plaintiff. The basis for plaintiff's motion to compel, in each instance, is that the discovery responses furnished by the defendants were not to the plaintiff's satisfaction.1 The defendants oppose plaintiff's motions and submit that all of their discovery responses were appropriately responsive according to Rules 34 and 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It appears that plaintiff's dissatisfaction with the defendants' responses is largely the product of his failure to pose appropriate requests. WHEREFORE, plaintiff's motions to compel should be denied.

One of the plaintiff's motions seeks to compel defendant McAllister to respond to Interrogatories. These responses have been provided to the plaintiff.
