Civil No. 08-cv-422-SM.

ORDER

JAMES MUIRHEAD, Magistrate Judge

Plaintiffs moved to compel discovery by deposition, by document request and by interrogatory (doc. no. 78). By order of November 5, 2009, I resolved the deposition issues and ordered the parties, 1) to provide a copy of the interrogatories and document requests at issue, and 2) to provide substantive arguments on those at issue.

Plaintiffs provided copies of all of its document requests and interrogatories but failed to supplement with any substantive arguments as to any of them. Plaintiffs' position as stated in the motion is simply that the responses are "completely unresponsive" (doc. no. 78, ¶ 4). That is not a developed argument. "The district court is free to disregard arguments that are not adequately developed." Higgins v. New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc., 194 F.3d 252, 260, (1st Cir. 1999).

On the other hand, defendants substantially responded with arguments to support each response. Those arguments have not been disputed by plaintiffs and I accept them.

Plaintiffs' motion (doc. no. 78) is denied.

SO ORDERED.
