All pretrial proceedings have been referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 73.02(B)(2)(e), D.S.C.

Plaintiff's second Motion to Compel is granted. Defendant Freeman is directed to serve responses to Plaintiff's discovery requests, including sworn answers to Plaintiff's Interrogatories and production of documents requested in Plaintiff's Requests for Production, within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order.
