ORDER

GEORGE FOLEY, JR., Magistrate Judge.

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (ECF No. 10), filed August 13, 2018. To date, no response has been filed and the time for which has passed.

Plaintiffs request an order compelling Defendant to respond to Plaintiff's first set of written discovery including interrogatories and request for production of documents. The certificates of service indicate that Plaintiffs mailed their first set of requests for written discovery on June 22, 2018. Plaintiffs' counsel represents that three days after the deadline for Defendant to submit its response passed, he sent a letter to Defendant's counsel reminding him of the missed deadline and to schedule a time to meet and confer. Plaintiffs' counsel indicates that on August 2, 2018, counsel for both parties met and conferred and reached an agreement that Defendant would respond to requested discovery no later than August 9, 2018. Plaintiffs' counsel further represents Plaintiffs are still without response.

To date, no party has responded to this motion and the time for opposition has now passed. LR 7-2(d) reads in pertinent part, that "[t]he failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion." As a result, the Court will grant the present motion.

Additionally, Plaintiffs' argue they be entitled to recover attorney's fees incurred as a result of this motion, pursuant to Rule 37(a)(5)(A). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(d)(1)(A)(ii) permits the court to grant sanctions when a party, after being properly served with interrogatories or request for inspection, fails to file its answers or written response. The Court will therefore grant Plaintiffs' request for attorney's fees. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (ECF No. 10) is granted.

IT FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant shall serve its answers to Plaintiffs First Set of Interrogatories and responses to Requests for Production no later than fourteen (14) days after the entry of this order.

IT FURTHER ORDERED as follows:

1. Plaintiffs are entitled to an award of reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in filing the instant motion. Counsel for the Plaintiffs shall, no later than fourteen (14) days from the entry of this order, up to and including September 24, 2018, serve and file a memorandum, supported by affidavit of counsel, establishing the amount of attorney's fees and costs incurred. The memorandum shall provide a reasonable itemization and description of work performed, identify the attorney(s) or staff member(s) performing the work, the customary fee of the attorney(s) or staff member(s) for such work, and the experience, reputation and ability of the attorney performing the work. The attorney's affidavit shall authenticate the information contained in the memorandum, provide a statement that the bill has been reviewed and edited, and a statement that the fees and costs charged are reasonable.

2. Counsel for Defendant shall have fourteen (14) days from service of the memorandum of costs and attorney's fees, up to and including October 8, 2018, in which to file a responsive memorandum addressing the reasonableness of the costs and fees sought, and any equitable considerations deemed appropriate for the court to consider in determining the amount of costs and fees which should be awarded

3. Counsel for Plaintiff shall have seven (7) days from service of the responsive memorandum, up to and including October 15, 2018, in which to file a reply.

IT FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing currently scheduled for Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 9:30 AM shall be vacated.
