ORDER DENYING THE GOVERNMENT'S MOTIONS TO COMPEL (Doc. 10 and 11) WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Now before the court is the government's motion to compel Defendant Jack Giacalone to answer post-judgment interrogatories and requests for production of documents, and for sanctions for the costs incurred in bringing the motion. (Doc. 10). The parties asked the court to delay ruling on the motion as they were working to settle the matter themselves. However, Defendant failed to produce all of the requested materials as promised and the government filed a renewed motion to compel and for sanctions (Doc. 11). That motion is now also before the court and has been fully briefed. Since the government filed its initial motion, Defendant has answered the interrogatories. Also, in response to the government's renewed motion, Defendant has requested additional time to respond to the document requests as defense counsel has been in trial in another matter and has been involved in extensive trial preparation. Defendant requests an additional 14-days to produce any responsive documents. The court GRANTS Defendant's request for an additional 14-days to produce the requested documents, and DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the government's motions to compel (Doc. 10 and 11) as moot. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Defendant respond to the government's document requests within 14-days of the entry of this order. Should Defendant fail to timely respond to the government's document requests in full, the court shall sanction Defendant, and shall award attorney's fees to the United States and against the Defendant.
