MEMORANDUM OPINION

Denying The Defendant’s Motion To Compel

URBINA, District Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

This matter comes before the court on defendant C.J. Thomas’ (“C.J. Thomas” or “the defendant”) motion to compel plaintiff Burlington Insurance Company (“Burlington”) to produce documents requested in discovery. Because these documents are irrelevant to the plaintiffs negligent misrepresentation cause of action and inappo-site to the defendant’s possible defenses, the documents are beyond the permissible scope of discovery. Accordingly, the court denies the defendant’s motion to compel.
