I think it means that Xechem is failing in it's requiremnet to disclose pertinent info, but cannot say this for certain. Monty or Elis can probably shed more light on this.

We would have to know what "March 20 Rule 2004 Order Filed by Robert E Richards on behalf of Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Xechem, Inc. et al.. pertains to---Monty can probably fill us in on that...

but in general---

"If you are involved in a lawsuit the opposing side is allowed to receive certain documents from you as part of the discovery process. The documents were probably already asked for in a Request for Production. A motion to compel is a motion to the court, which if granted will force you to produce the documents to the opposing counsel, which were asked for in the Request for Production.


A motion to compel may also apply to other forms of discovery, such as a motion to compel responses to interrogatories (written questions), a motion to compel attendance at a deposition, etc.

With regard to documents, state discovery laws may require the opponent receiving a document request to provide a "response" to your request for the production of documents. This "response" is to be distinguished from the actual production of the documents. You may have to bring a motion to compel a response if your request receives no response. If you receive some response but think it evasive, you might bring a motion to compel a further response. If you get a response, but the party refuses to produce documents it should produce in accordance with the response, your motion to compel is a motion to compel production."
