MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT MOTION
I. FACTS
Defendant propounded Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents upon
Plaintiff November 15, 2012. See Exhibit "A". To date, Michael Kaydo has failed to provide
any responses or objections to Defendant's Interrogatories and Request for Production of
Documents although Defendant has attempted to obtain this discovery from Plaintiff. Therefore,
Defendant has no alternative but to file a Motion to Compel Plaintiff's Answers to Defendant's
Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents.
II. LEGAL ARGUMENT
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4009(a)(1) provides that any party may serve on
any other party a Request to Produce. Specifically, this Rule permits the party making the
request, or someone acting on his behalf, to inspect and copy any designated documents, or to
inspect and copy, test or sample any tangible things which constitute or contain matters within
the scope of Rule 4003.1 through 4003.5 inclusive, and which are in the possession, custody or
control of the party upon whom the request is served. Rule 4009(b)(2) provides that the party
upon whom the request is served shall serve a written response within thirty (30) days after the
service of the request. This Rule further provides that the party submitting the request may move
for an Order under Rule 4019(a) with respect to any objection to, or other failure to respond to
the request or any part thereof, or any failure to permit inspection as requested.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4019(a)(vii) provides that the Court may, on
Motion, make an appropriate Order if a party, in response to a request for production or
inspection made under Rules 4005 and 4009, fails to respond that inspection will be permitted as
requested or fails to permit inspection as requested. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4005
provides that any party may serve upon any other party to litigation written Interrogatories
concerning the subject matter of that litigation. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4006
provides that the party so served must file answers and/or objections to the Interrogatories within
thirty (30)days after service thereof.
Despite the repeated requests of Defendant, to date Plaintiff, Michael Kaydo has failed to
respond to Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents within thirty (30) days as
required by the Pa. Rules of Civil Procedure.
The responses to Defendant's Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents
are long overdue and therefore, Plaintiffs failure to answer Defendant's Interrogatories and
Request for Production of Documents is a blatant violation of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure. Further, Plaintiff, Michael Kaydo's failure to answer Defendant's Interrogatories and
Request for Production of Documents works a severe prejudice on Defendant's preparation of
his defense in this case.
WHEREFORE, based upon the foregoing Defendant request that this Honorable Court
enter the proposed Order.
Respectfully submitted,
