Motions the Court to provide specific items into discovery. A motion to compel asks the court to order either the opposing party or a third party to take some action. This sort of motion most commonly deals with discovery.

If a deponent fails to answer a question propounded, or a party upon whom a discovery request has been made fails to respond adequately, objects to a request, or fails to produce documents or other inspection as requested, the discovering party may move the ALJ for an order compelling discovery in accordance with the request.
