This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Hennepin County Court] [Hennepin County Government Center] [300 South 6th Street] [Minneapolis, MN 55415] Re: [Case Number] Subject: Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Answers to Plaintiff's Second Set of Interrogatories Dear [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to respectfully request your attention and assistance in resolving a discovery dispute in the above-mentioned case. As the plaintiff, I have encountered persistent difficulties in obtaining complete and satisfactory answers to my second set of interrogatories from the opposing party, [Defendant's Name], despite repeated efforts to engage in amicable resolution. Allow me to provide a brief overview of the background information regarding this discovery dispute. On [Date], I served the defendant with my second set of interrogatories, which consisted of [Number] well-crafted and relevant questions aimed at gathering crucial information to substantiate my claims. Under the applicable rules of civil procedure, the defendant was obligated to provide complete and truthful responses within [Number] days. Unfortunately, the defendant's response has been inadequate, evasive, and fails to comply with the rules and guidelines set forth under Hennepin County Discovery Rules as well as the governing Minnesota Statutes. Despite numerous follow-up correspondences and attempts to resolve this matter cooperatively, the defendant has not taken any meaningful steps to rectify the situation or to provide substantive responses. As the facts and evidence essential to my case are predominantly within the knowledge and control of the defendant, their refusal or inability to provide accurate and complete responses severely undermines my ability to effectively prepare for trial. Given the fundamental importance of discovery in ensuring a just and fair legal process, I respectfully request your intervention to compel the defendant to provide satisfactory responses to my second set of interrogatories. Enclosed with this letter, you will find a copy of the original second set of interrogatories that were issued to the defendant, as well as the defendant's incomplete and evasive responses for your review. To illustrate the defendant's lack of cooperation, I have highlighted specific instances where their responses were deemed insufficient or non-responsive. Moreover, I have attached a memorandum of law outlining the relevant legal principles that substantiate my motion to compel. In light of the circumstances, I kindly request that you schedule a hearing to address this motion promptly and to issue an order compelling the defendant to provide accurate, complete, and timely responses to my second set of interrogatories. Additionally, I respectfully request an award of reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred as a direct result of the defendant's failure to comply with their discovery obligations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that your wisdom and experience will guide you in making a just and fair decision. I look forward to receiving a favorable response and the opportunity to proceed with discovery efficiently. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
