MARCO A. HERNÁNDEZ, District Judge.
Before the Court is City Defendants' motion pursuant to Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to compel a discovery response from Plaintiff. The parties certified that they have made good faith efforts to resolve this dispute and have been unable to do so. City Defendants claim that Plaintiff has submitted incomplete responses to their requests for medical records relating to Plaintiff's alleged injuries. City Defendants seek a court order compelling Plaintiff to provide a complete response to their May 10, 2016, First Request for Production. The Motion is GRANTED.
This case arises out of several interactions that Plaintiff has had with law enforcement where she alleges, in relevant part, that Defendants used excessive force on her causing her injuries. On May 10, 2016, City Defendants submitted their First Request for Production which requested several forms of medical evidence including: "Copies of all medical reports, medical records, medical charts, hospital records or other medical documentation relating to the injuries claimed by plaintiff in the Amended Complaint." Landrum Decl. Ex. 1, ECF 120. The First Request for Production also requested: "Copies of all pre-incident medical reports, records and chart notes relating to the examination or treatment of any part of the body which is now claimed in plaintiff's Amended Complaint to be injured as a result of one of the three [of] the subject incidents alleged in the Amended Complaint."
Plaintiff objects to the Motion, arguing that the requests for production are unduly burdensome and duplicative. Pl. Obj. at 2-3, ECF 124.
Under Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may move to compel discovery where the non-movant "fails to produce documents or fails to respond that inspection will be permitted — or fails to permit inspection — as requested under Rule 34. Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a)(3)(B)(iv). Parties "may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the claim or defense of any party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). "Relevant information for purposes of discovery is information reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. District courts have broad discretion in determining relevancy for discovery purposes."
The Court finds that, pursuant to Rules 26 and 37, Defendants are entitled to complete responses to their First Request for Production. Plaintiff alleges that she was injured as the result of Defendants' use of excessive force on her. The requested medical documentation related to those alleged injuries and is highly relevant to this case. Moreover, Plaintiff's objections to the Motion are largely non-responsive and unsupported. Plaintiff's assertion that that she has no pre-existing injuries does not relieve her of her discovery obligations. Further, Plaintiff's generalized arguments that City Defendants' request is burdensome, cumulative, or duplicative are unsupported by her exhibits. Accordingly, the Court overrules her objections and orders Plaintiff to provide the signed medical release to City Defendants no later than February 20, 2017 .
City Defendants' Motion to Compel [119] is GRANTED. Plaintiff is ORDERED to provide a complete response to City Defendants' May 10, 2016, First Request for Production by providing the requested signed medical releases to City Defendants no later than February 20, 2017.
