                 Subpart D_Discovery; Compulsory Process
 
Sec.  511.36  Motions to compel discovery.

    If a party fails to respond to discovery, in whole or in part, the 
party seeking discovery may move within twenty (20) days for an order 
compelling an answer, or compelling inspection or production of 
documents, or otherwise compelling discovery. For purposes of this 
subsection, an evasive or incomplete response is to be treated as a 
failure to respond. If the motion is granted, the Presiding Officer 
shall issue an order compelling discovery. If the motion is denied in 
whole or in part, the Presiding Officer may make such protective order 
as he or she would have been empowered to make on a motion pursuant to 
Sec.  511.31(d). When making oral examinations, the discovering party 
shall continue the examination to the extent possible with respect to 
other areas of inquiry before moving to compel discovery.
