ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT/COUNTER-PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION TO COMPEL
THIS MATTER came before the Court upon the parties’ Joint Stipulation Regarding
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff’s (“Plaintiff’s”) Motion to Compel Counter-Defendant (“Real
Legacy”) to Provide Complete Supplemental Responses to Discovery (Docket No. 39).
Having reviewed the joint stipulation and upon due consideration thereof, the Court
makes the following findings concerning each discovery request at issue:
Interrogatory No. 9:
Counter-Defendant claims that the documents sought by
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff already have been produced in
response to demands for production of documents.  The Court

will deny Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff’s motion without
prejudice with regard to the documents at issue.
Interrogatory Nos. 23 and 24:
This Court previously has held that responses to
contention interrogatories may be deferred until the
later stages of discovery in accordance with B. Braun
Medical, Inc. v. Abbot Laboratories, 155 F.R.D. 525 (E.D.
Pa. 1994).  However, the Court will order Counter-
Defendant to supplement its responses to provide any
currently known facts.
Demand For Production No. 1:
The Court finds that the documents listed in its
privilege log in response to this demand are protected
by the attorney client and/or attorney work-product
privilege.  Consequently, the Court will deny
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff’s motion with regard to
this discovery request.
Demand For Production Nos. 14 and 20:
The Court will restrict the demands to
claims and/or cases involving similar
incidents to the one underlying the matter

at bar.  Counter-Defendant shall provide

similar incidents.
Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED:
1.
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff’s (“Plaintiff’s”) Motion to Compel Counter-
Defendant (“Real Legacy”) to Provide Complete Supplemental Responses to
Discovery (Docket No. 39) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN
PART.
2.

Demand For Production Nos. 14 and 20 as more particularly set forth
hereinabove.
