ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Defendant to
Supplement Rule 26 Disclosures (Docket No. 43).  Defendant filed an opposition in
response to said motion, and Plaintiff filed a reply thereto.
Having reviewed the submissions of the parties and upon due consideration thereof,
the Court finds that said Defendant has provided the information sought by the motion. 
While Plaintiff may have desired the information to be provided in a slightly different
format or with more detail, the rule demands only that the information be provided.
As Defendant explained in its response, it “disclosed the names, addresses[,] and
telephone numbers of five individuals who [sic] it may call as witnesses . . . .  For the

subjects of information required by Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(i), IMC stated that each individual ‘has
information relative to Defendant’s defenses.’” Opp’n at 2.  Defendant then sets forth its
three (3) affirmative defenses as asserted in its pleadings.  Id.  The three (3) defenses relate
to Defendant’s position that Plaintiff was a temporary worker hired for a specific project
and that he was terminated when such project was completed.  Contrary to Plaintiff’s
assertion, the defenses are limited in such a way that Plaintiff should be able to determine
whether or not to depose these individuals.  The Court finds that the description of the
information sufficiently fulfills the rule’s broad requirement of “subjects of [discoverable]
information.”
Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel
Defendant to Supplement Rule 26 Disclosures (Docket No. 43) is DENIED.
