BILLY ROY WILSON, District Judge.
Pending is Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 19) and Defendant's Motion to Enlarge Time (Doc. No. 21). For the following reasons, Plaintiff's Motion is DENIED without prejudice and Defendant's Motion is GRANTED.
Both of these Motions arise out of the same set of facts. On November 8, 2011, Separate Plaintiff Cory Nixon ("Plaintiff) propounded his Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents on Separate Defendant Costner Excavating, Inc.("Defendant). Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30, the deadline for responding was December 8, 2011. On December 7, 2011, Defendant served its responses to the Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents.
On December 19, 2011, Plaintiff's counsel sent a letter to Defendant's counsel informing them that they failed to respond to 7 interrogatories and 23 requests for production and that Plaintiff deemed all objections waived.
On December 22, Defendant filed a Motion to Enlarge Time to Respond to Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents or to Excuse Failure to Object Due to Clerical Error (Doc. No. 21). In the Motion, Defendant's counsel explains that her failure to submit complete responses and objections to Plaintiff's Interrogatories and Requests for Production was due to a clerical error and that upon learning that an incomplete response had been sent, she promptly submitted the correct version. Defendant argues that "no delay or hardship [] has been worked upon the Plaintiffs by the relatively brief delay in Plaintiffs obtaining the correct responses."
Plaintiff filed a Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 19) on December 22, 2011, asking this Court to issue an Order compelling Defendant to fully and completely respond to the Interrogatories and Requests for Production that he did not timely object to in the December 7 responses. Based on my above findings, Plaintiff's Motion to Compel is DENIED without prejudice. If Plaintiff has a separate basis for supporting his Motion to Compel beyond his instant argument, he may file a separate motion.
Therefore, Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 19) is DENIED without prejudice and Defendant's Motion to Enlarge (Doc. No. 21) is GRANTED.
