Re: James Half v. David Holman, et al.
CIA. N0. 04-1328-GMS
Dear Mr. Hall:
State defendants have received your Request for Production of Documents and
Request for Admissions. The State defendants have until December 12, 2005 to file an
answer to your Complaint. The State defendants expect to respond to your Complaint
with a Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12. Responding
to your discovery requests at this time is premature. One of the purposes of allowing a
party the opportunity to file a Motion to Dismiss, is so that the Court may make a
decision regarding the sufficiency of the plaintiff s claims before committing resources to
the discovery process. Therefore, the State defendants oppose responding to the
discovery requests until the Court has the opportunity to decide if your claims state a
claim for which relief can be granted.
Accordingly, please accept this letter as the Defendants opposition to exchange
of discovery information or formulation of any discovery plan until decisions have been
rendered on the Motion to Disrniss, which will be filed by December 12, 2005.
Sincerely,
__ Lisa Barchi
Deputy Attorney General
Xc: Clerk of Court
