ORDER

DENNIS M. COTA, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiffs, who are proceeding with retained counsel, bring this civil action. Pending before the court are defendant's motions for terminating sanctions as to plaintiffs Bilton Family Revocable Trust (Doc. 49), Randolph Bilton (Doc. 50), Ken Ziu Thang (Doc. 51), Shannon Saetern (Doc. 52), John Alderton (Doc. 53), Connie Bilton (Doc. 54), Robert Lenkner (Doc. 55), Aaron Standish Mathisen (Doc. 56), and Elizabeth Merry (Doc. 57). Pursuant to the stipulated order for voluntary dismissal of plaintiffs Bilton Family Revocable Trust, Robert Lenkner, Aaron Standish Mathisen, Elizabeth Merry, Connie Bilton, and Randolph Bilton (Doc. 59), defendant's motions as to those plaintiffs (Docs. 49, 50, 54, 55, 56, and 57) are denied as moot. The motions as to plaintiffs Saetern, Thang, and Alderton (Docs. 51, 52, and 53) remain on calendar for hearing before the undersigned in Redding, California, on January 30, 2019, at 10:00 a.m.

With respect to defendant's requests for an award of reasonable expenses under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(a)(5)(A) as to the motions being dismissed as moot, the requests are denied. Defendant's motions seek terminating sanctions under Rule 37(b)(2) based on plaintiffs' failure to comply with the court's December 7, 2018, order. Expenses under Rule 37(a)(5)(A) are awarded to parties who prevail on a motion to compel discovery responses, not on a motion based on non-compliance with a discovery order. Defendant has already been awarded prevailing party expenses under Rule 37(a)(5)(A) and, given the voluntary dismissal of some of the plaintiffs alleged to have failed to comply with the court's December 7, 2018, order, defendant has obtained the relief it seeks as to such plaintiffs in terms of terminating sanctions under Rule 37(b)(2). A further award of reasonable expenses under Rule 37(a)(5)(A) is not warranted.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that;

1. Defendant's motions for terminating sanctions as to plaintiffs Bilton Family Revocable Trust, Robert Lenkner, Aaron Standish Mathisen, Elizabeth Merry, Connie Bilton, and Randolph Bilton (Docs. 49, 50, 54, 55, 56, and 57) are denied as moot; and

2. Defendant's request for reasonable expenses under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(a)(5)(A) as to plaintiffs Bilton Family Revocable Trust, Robert Lenkner, Aaron Standish Mathisen, Elizabeth Merry, Connie Bilton, and Randolph Bilton are denied.
