Colon, Esq. John Sopuch, Esq. Britain H. Bryant, Esq. ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO COMPEL THIS MATTER came before the Court upon Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories and Demand For Production (Docket No. 84).

Moreover, the Court takes notice of the fact that the discovery deadline is August 31, 2009. Thus, in the interest of judicial economy, the Court will rule upon the motion which could be considered filed Case: 1:06-cv-00093-CVG-GWC Document #: 91 Filed: 08/04/09 Page 1 of 2 Lower Love S.S., Inc. v.
