ARLENE R. LINDSAY, Magistrate Judge.
Before the Court is the defendant's letter application seeking to compel the plaintiff to provide amended responses to the defendant's First Set of Interrogatories and a supplemental document production in response to Defendant's First Request to Produce Documents. For the reasons set forth below, the motion is granted, in part.
On October 16, 2018, the defendant served the plaintiff with its Interrogatories and Document Requests. After failing to timely respond, counsel for the plaintiff did serve responses and objections to the interrogatories and forwarded counsel an initial production of 79 pages. In his cover email enclosing the partial responses and production, counsel for the plaintiff advised that he would be meeting with his client the following week to search for other documents responsive to the requests and had already requested copies of his client's tax returns for the years 2011 through 2017 from his accountant. According to the defendant, despite these promises, the plaintiff has not produced any additional documents or responses to date. Specifically, the defendant contends that the plaintiff has not produced any documents in response to Requests Nos. 3, 4, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 25, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 44 (iii), and 51 and that the documents received by the defendant bearing bates nos. 87-100 are illegible. In addition, the defendant contends that the plaintiff has not provided complete responses to Interrogatories No. 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 13, 15, 16 and 18.
The plaintiff has not provided the Court with any substantive arguments in response to the motion. Instead, counsel simply states that he has complied with the defendant's demands and that the defendant's counsel is "simply unsatisfied because the . . . responses to not comply with their unreasonable standard." Accordingly, the Court has undertaken a review of the requests and responses and makes the following rulings:
2. The plaintiff has agreed to provide the defendant with tax documents "when he returns to the United States" and with medical records or authorizations, for which he is willing to sign a declaration limiting any emotional distress to garden variety emotional distress. Since counsel has not indicated when his client will be returning to the United States, the plaintiff is also directed to serve the defendant with his tax returns, the medical authorizations and the stipulation limiting his damages to garden variety emotional distress by February 25, 2019. In addition, counsel for the plaintiff is directed to provide the defendant with a legible copy of the documents that bear bates nos. 87-100.
3. The plaintiff is further directed to provide more complete responses to Interrogatories No. 5 and 7. With respect to Interrogatory No, 5, the plaintiff is directed to provide a copy of the email or identify from whom he received the email as well as the substance of the email.
A status conference will be held March 12, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. to resolve any issues which remain. The parties are to submit a joint status letter by March 8, 2019 outlining any outstanding discovery issues.
