ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO ENFORCE SUBPOENA [Re Docket No. 1]
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") applied for an order to enforce a subpoena on English Oaks Convalescent Rehabilitation Center ("English Oaks"). The motion is granted. English Oaks' objections are not well-taken and, in any event, its failure to object to the subpoena through the administrative process defined in 29 C.F.R. § 1601.16(b)(1) waived its objections to the subpoena. See E.E.O.C. v. Lutheran Social Services, 186 F.3d 959, 964 (D.C. Cir. 1999). The EEOC's failure to diligently pursue enforcement of the subpoena and failure to engage in the required meet-and-confer process lead the court to deny the EEOC's request for costs and attorney's fees in connection with the application to enforce the subpoena.
