ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEL [ECF No. 80]

RICHARD A. LANZILLO, Magistrate Judge.

Presently pending before the Court is Plaintiff John Butler's motion to compel discovery pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37. ECF No. 80. In his motion, Butler asserts that Defendant Howard Sissem failed to adequately and fully respond to several questions presented in Butler's second set of interrogatories.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 allows a party who receives evasive or incomplete discovery responses to seek a court order compelling additional disclosure or discovery. After carefully considering Butler's motion and exhibits, the Court agrees that Sissem's responses were incomplete and/or evasive. In his second set of interrogatories, Butler posed a series of questions that, although similar to those contained in his first set of interrogatories, clearly sought different information. Butler's questions were both specific and narrowly tailored. Nevertheless, Sissem responded by either referring Butler to his prior interrogatory answers or directing him to an earlier grievance response. These responses are inadequate. Accordingly, Butler's motion to compel is GRANTED and Sissem is hereby ORDERED to provide full and complete responses to questions one, two, four, and five of Plaintiff's second set of interrogatories within 14 days of this order.

In the meantime, Butler has requested an update as to the status of this case. See ECF Nos. 96, 97. The Court notes that counsel entered an appearance for previously-unserved Defendant Dr. Jose Boggio on August 9, 2019. ECF Nos. 90, 92. Per the Court's subsequent order, Boggio's response to the complaint is due on or before October 8, 2019. See ECF No. 93. Once Boggio has responded, the Court will set a deadline for Butler and Boggio to exchange discovery materials, if applicable.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
