CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:006-CV-194-WAP-SAA.
June 13, 2008
ORDER
Plaintiff, the estate of Susie Brawhaw, seeks an order compelling production of documents sought in Brawhaw's First Requests for Production of Documents and its First Set of Interrogatories filed on March 11, 2008. The discovery deadline in this case was March 13, 2008. RULE 7.2(B)(2) of the UNIFORM LOCAL RULES OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTS FOR THE NORTHERN AND THE SOUTHERN DISTRICTS OF MISSISSIPPI requires that discovery motions be filed sufficiently in advance of the discovery deadline so as not to affect the deadline. Filing the motion two days before the deadline did not allow for adequate time for the defendants to respond, for the court to make its ruling or for the requested discovery to occur prior to the deadline. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED
That plaintiff's motion to compel production of documents is denied.
