RE: John Doe v. John Poe

Dear ____:

On __________________, I served upon you, on behalf of your clients,


_____________with written interrogatories, requests for production of documents and
requests for admission. To date no responses have been received.

I have granted you several extensions, the most recent being until ________________. I
have still not received any responses. As you are more than ___ days late on my most
previous extension I must insist that your clients provide me with their verified
responses, without objections.

Be advised that, as your clients have failed to serve timely responses they have waived
any right to objections, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(b)(4), for the
written interrogatories, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34(b)(2)(B) for the requests for
production of documents, and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 36(a)(3) for the requests
for admission.

I also want to emphasize that your clients failure to timely respond or object to the
requests for admission has resulted in the matters being admitted pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 36(a)(3) which states in pertinent part that, A matter is admitted
unless, within 30 days after being served, the party to whom the request is directed serves
on the requesting party a written answer or objection addressed to the matter and signed
by the party or its attorney.

However as a professional courtesy I will allow your clients to respond to the requests
for admission, without objections provided that the verified responses are received within
10 days from the date of this letter.

Accordingly, I request that your clients submit verified responses to the written
interrogatories, requests for production of documents, without objections, within 10 days
from the date of this letter.
It is my sincere intention to settle this matter amicably without the need for judicial
intervention. However, as I am entitled to your clients verified discovery responses in the
event I do not receive your clients verified responses, without objections, within 10 days
from the date of this letter I will have no choice but to file motions to compel with the
Court and ask for attorney fees and sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
Rule 37(a)(5) for your clients failure to comply.

Very truly yours,
