requests, thereby rendering the motion moot.  Plaintiff also seeks sanctions for Defendant’s
failure to comply with LRCi 37.2.
The Court acknowledges that the parties failed to submit a joint stipulation pursuant
LRCi 37.2(a).  Since the matter is moot, the Court will deny the motion.  As the Court has
instructed previously, however, all future discovery motions that fail to comply with the
requirements of LRCi 37.2(a) will not be considered pursuant to LRCi 37.2(c).
Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED Defendant’s Motion to Compel Answers
to Defendant’s Request For Production of Documents and Interrogatories (Docket No. 80)
is DENIED AS MOOT.
