Triosim Corporation v. Somarakis, Inc., John Somarakis, and SI Post, Inc.

Summary

The Eastern District of Wisconsin grants Triosim Corporation’s motion to compel John Somarakis to provide complete interrogatory responses and comply with requests for production, because the defendants did not oppose the motion. The court denies without prejudice the portion seeking enforcement of subpoenas directed to Somarakis, Inc. and SI Post, Inc., concluding that compliance was required in the Western District of Washington. The court also sets April 15, 2026, as the deadline for any motion for default judgment or request for a default-judgment hearing.

Holdings

2. The court denied without prejudice the portion of Triosim's motion seeking to compel Somarakis, Inc. and SI Post, Inc. to comply with the subpoenas because the subpoenas required compliance in the Western District of Washington, and Triosim had not shown that the subpoena-enforcement motion was properly before the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
3. Any motion for default judgment or request for a hearing regarding default judgment had to be filed no later than April 15, 2026.
