TRUMAN ARNOLD COMPANIES, PLAINTIFF v. SOUTHAVEN CONOCO, LLC, ET AL. DEFENDANTS CONSOLIDATED WITH SALAH ELHURAIBI, ET AL. PLAINTIFFS

ORDER

DAVID SANDERS, Magistrate Judge

Before the court is essentially the plaintiffs' (in No. 2:09cv137) motion to compel ConocoPhillips Company ("Conoco") to present Cindy Vickers or some other qualified representative for a deposition and to produce documents. By Order dated November 12, the court required that the plaintiffs serve Conoco with a copy of their arguments made in support of the motion and required Conoco to file a response by November 22. Conoco filed its response (# 93 in 2:09cv31) on November 22, and the plaintiffs filed a reply (# 95) on November 29. The court has given thorough consideration to the parties' submissions and is of the opinion that the plaintiffs' request should be denied.

The plaintiffs made this request in their responses (# 87 # 88 in 2:09cv31) to Ms. Vickers' and Truman's motions to quash a deposition subpoena duces tecum.

In their reply brief, the plaintiffs clearly point out that they seek information from Conoco related to their "primary concern" which is "Truman Arnold Companies' routine delivery of misbranded and unbranded fuel in fraudulent breach of the underlying supply agreement." In an Order (# 90 in 2:09cv31) dated November 15, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion to amend their complaint to add claims related to this issue. Accordingly, the information the plaintiffs seek is not relevant to this lawsuit, and Conoco, Inc. should not be compelled to disclose it.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiffs' motion to compel is hereby DENIED.

This 1st day of December, 2010.
