Question:
P Served a set of interrogatories on D. After 60 days, P finally hears from D in a short email that said, "See attached." The attachment contained all twenty of P's interrogatories with answers that to all twenty merely saying, "objection: improper interrogatory." Another 30 days went by, P was very upset with D, but P never bothered to reach out to D to resolve the issue. With the discovery deadline quickly approaching, P thought to motion to extend discovery, but instead he decided to "go for the throat." At the 11th hour before the deadline, P files a motion to compel discovery and requesting sanctions. "This will show that him once and for all," P quietly grumbled to himself. Neither P nor D had filed any previous motions with the Court.
1 What relevant Federal Rule(s) of Civil Procedure applies to this fact pattern?
2. May D refuse to answer interrogatories by simply writing, "Objection: improper interrogatory."?
3. Has P complied fully with relevant procedural rule? Why or why not?
