May 17, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 103 ORDER DENYING MOTION TO COMPEL - This case is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Payment of Attorney Fees and Expenses (Doc. No. 99). In its Response (Doc. No. 100), the United States has recognized its obligation to pay the amount ordered by the Court without awaiting final judgment in the case and Plaintiff, in his Reply (Doc. No. 101) acknowledges that the Government has taken necessary affirmative steps in that direction, although payment is not complete. Given that status of the matter, there is no need for the Court to determine its authority to make an order compelling payment. If payment is not received by June 1, 2011, Plaintiff is free to seek reconsideration. The present Motion is denied. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 5/17/2011. (kpf1)

July 30, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 73 DECISION AND ORDER - This case is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Second Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 70). To the extent it sought discovery which had not been produced at the time it was filed (July 6, 2010) but has now been produced, the Motion to Compel is moot. However, as Plaintiff correctly points out, late production of discovery does not shield a producing party from sanctions for the late production; to that extent the Motion is not moot. Plaintiff may submit an application for an award of expenses and attorney fees for filing the Second Motion to Compel. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 7/30/2010. (kpf1)

October 6, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 66 AMENDMENTS TO SCHEDULING ORDER - This case is before the Court sua sponte upon its referral pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 10/6/2009. (kpf1)

Plaintiffs are perfectly free to re-file in proper form and to request expedited consideration of their Motion. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 7/31/2009. (gh1, )
July 24, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 57 ORDER STRIKING MOTION TO COMPEL - This case is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 53). Additional motion papers are found at Doc. Nos. 55 and 56. Upon examination, the Court finds that both the Motion to Compel and the R eply Memorandum in support are not signed by the trial attorney in this case, R. Mark Henry. All papers filed on behalf of a party in this Court are to be signed by that party's trial attorney. S. D. Ohio Civ. R. 83.5(a). Although Mr. Podlaski has been admitted pro hac vice, such admission does not entitle him to act as Plaintiff's trial attorney in this case. S. D. Ohio Civ. R.83.4(a).
