Dear Mr. Kope:
It would appear from my records that a request for production of documents and
interrogatories were mailed to you on May 10,2006. I still have yet to receive the
plaintiff's responses to those discovery requests. Please provide responses to the
requests by August 31,2006, or I will be forced to file any necessary motions with the
Court.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
CGS/lsb
