Civil Action No. 4:05CV33LN.

ORDER
This matter came before the court on the Motion for Sanctions for Defendants' Ike Brown and the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee Failure to Comply with Rule 26 and Make Initial Disclosures, which was filed on August 16, 2005, and to which the Defendants have submitted no opposition. The court has reviewed the Motion and is of the opinion that it has merit and should be granted, insofar as the Defendants will be required to pay the Defendant the sum of $500.00 for failure to comply. This matter also came before the court on the Plaintiff's ore tenus Motion for Additional Depositions, which was heard by the court in a telephonic conference on Monday, January 23, 2006. As stated during that conference, the Motion is granted to the extent that the Government may take up to thirty-five depositions in this matter.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Motion for Sanctions for Defendants' Ike Brown and the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee Failure to Comply with Rule 26 and Make Initial Disclosures and the Government's ore tenus Motion to Take Additional Depositions are hereby granted in part and denied in part, as follows. The Defendants shall reimburse the Plaintiff the sum of $500.00 for failure to submit disclosures, and the money and appropriate disclosures shall be delivered on or before February 14, 2006. In all other respects, the Motion for Sanctions is denied. The Government shall be entitled to take thirty-five depositions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
