RESPONDENTS DAVID E. TRIPP AND JANICE L. TRIPP’S
RESPONSE TO MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
NOW COMES David E. Tripp and Janice L. Tripp, Respondents, by and through
their attorneys Cliffe, Foster, Corneille & Buick, LLC, as and for their response to
Complainants’ Motion to Compel Discovery state as follows:
1.
That Respondents David E. Tripp and Janice L. Tripp adopt and incorporate
Newby Oil Company’s Objections to Motion to Compel Discovery in its
entirety and assert the same objections herein.
2.
Further, Respondents Tripp assert that the Complainants in their Motion to
Compel Discovery cite to no authority that would allow the Illinois Pollution
Control Board to enter a order requiring them to produce information that
~
~ .~ ~
does not currently exist.
z
~
o ~
3.
That Complainants cite an Illinois Administrative Rule that allows a Hearing
Officer to order the production of information that is relevant to the matter
under consideration. (35 Illinois Administrative Code 101.614).
4.
This Administrative Rule has been interpreted as a remedy in the nature of
Page 1 of 2
F:\1448\2003-071 7\M0T20041021HEATHERI 02138.WPD
a Motion to Compel when a Respondent refuses to answer Discovery
requests such as Interrogatories. (See, The People ofthe State ofIllinois vs.
Skokie Valley Asphalt, Company, 2003 WL 22134512, Illinois Pollution
Control Board).
5.
That although Complainants seek to present their pending “request” as a
Motion to Compel Discovery, there is no existing information to tender to the
Complainant in answerto their “request.”
6.
Finally, Complainants cite no authority which would allow the Illinois Pollution
Control Board to order either the Tripps or the Newby Oil Company to allow
furtherentry onto their propertyfor purposes ofobtaining soil boring samples
without their consent.
WHEREFORE, Respondents David E. Tripp and Janice L. Tripp request that
Complainants’ Motion to Compel Discovery be denied.
