ORDERS:
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO COMPEL
On
April 9, 2008, the Department filed a motion for an order compelling compliance
with the Department’s subpoena requiring copies of “Christina Phillips’ USC
employment records relating to both the women’s basketball team and the
academic center, and any and all information relating to internships she held
and/or participated in through the Sports Management program.” Attached to the
motion was a letter from Mark W. Hardee as Ms. Phillips’ lawyer objecting to
the release of any information and the Department’s letter of intent to file
with the Administrative Law Court pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. §37-6-106(3)
(Supp. 2007).
To date, neither
the University nor Ms. Phillips has filed any response to the Department’s
motion. Generally, parties are accorded ten (10) days to respond to motions. See ALC Rule 19 (motions); see also ALC Rule 22 (subpoenas). Here, the
parties have been given almost two months to respond but have failed to do so.
Accordingly,
because no response to the motion has been received, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to compel compliance with the Department’s subpoena is GRANTED.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
