[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Party's Name] [Opposing Party's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Answers to Plaintiff's Second Set of Interrogatories Dear [Opposing Party's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of the plaintiff in the above-mentioned case to address the outstanding matter of unanswered interrogatories submitted by the plaintiff. Pursuant to the rules of civil procedure in Vermont, specifically V.R.C.P. Rule 33, which governs interrogatories, the plaintiff hereby brings a motion to compel answers to the plaintiff's second set of interrogatories. Background: The plaintiff had initially served the defendant with their second set of interrogatories on [date]. As per the set timeline, the defendant was obligated to respond within thirty days from the date of service. However, to date, the plaintiff has not received any response to the interrogatories, nor has the defendant provided any explanation for this failure. Basis for Motion: In Vermont, when a party fails to timely respond to interrogatories, the opposing party has the right to seek a court order compelling answers. V.R.C.P. Rule 37(a)(2) governs the procedure for such motions and provides that if a party fails to respond to interrogatories, the moving party may move the court for an order compelling a response. By failing to respond to the plaintiff's second set of interrogatories within the specified timeframe, the defendant has violated their legal duty to provide discovery and impeded the fair progression of this case. The plaintiff has diligently pursued resolution through informal means but has been unable to obtain any cooperation or responses from the defendant. Therefore, the plaintiff has no option but to seek relief through this motion to ensure the progress of this case. Requested Relief: In light of the circumstances presented, the plaintiff respectfully requests the following relief from the court: 1. Compel the defendant to provide fully responsive answers to the plaintiff's second set of interrogatories within fifteen days from the date of the court order. 2. Grant the plaintiff reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in pursuing this motion, as provided under V.R.C.P. Rule 37(a)(4). Conclusion: It is evident that the defendant's failure to respond to the plaintiff's second set of interrogatories has caused undue delay and hindered the fair resolution of this case. The plaintiff seeks the court's intervention only as a last resort, having exhausted all other means to obtain the necessary information. Please consider this motion to compel seriously, as it is vital for the just and efficient resolution of this case. We kindly request that you respond to this motion within ten days from the date of this letter, failing which the plaintiff will proceed with filing the motion with the appropriate court. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope we can promptly resolve this issue and move forward appropriately. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm Name, if applicable] [Your Law Firm Address, if applicable] [City, State, ZIP]
