Who can I get an injunction or make defendant answer questions in a lawsuit?

Full question:

Can I get a form from you for an injunction against the EEOC? Please tell me how to do this complete with sites as I am in pro se. My contingency Attorney bailed just months before trial because he didn't know how to get this. Some background information is I am a whistle blower for the Government. I worked for six years as an employment specialist and saw too many violations of grant monies and was forced to discriminate against my clients by collecting eleven pages of personal medical information PRE HIRE so they could cherry pick and not hire people with disabilities UNLESS THEY CAME WITH THEIR OWN HEALTH INSURANCE. I helped senior investigators in their words 'clean up ' this non profit. Then they retaliated and fired me the Attorneys came out and shook my hand. The problem is the EEOC says discrimination? I want an injunction to force an answer. A question mark is not an answer. A Senior social worker told me the judge has the power to force an answer, not just a question mark. I specialized in the older disabled felon all in the same person. The hardest people to find jobs for. Everyone knew my name in jail. I was often afraid and prayed a lot, but I worked tirelessly as a professional. I even found jobs for the older disabled felon Attorney. No one wanted to help them. They can be intimidating, but I told my staff this population is at GREAT RISK FOR SUICIDE HAVING LOST EVERYTHING AND NOW THEY WERE TAKING THE BUS. I often thought there but for the grace of God go I. After six years and thousands of placements I didn't even see disabilities anymore. My clerk's life was destroyed by there meanness. They refereed to my clients as 'GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT.' THE DIRECTORS BOUGHT THEMSELVES NEW HOMES IN LA JOLLA AND LEXUS CARS BUT THE CLIENT COUNDN'T EVEN HAVE A BUS PASS TO GET TO THE INTERVIEW. THEY FIRED HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. The disabled community is 82% unemployed so they keep their head down. They are afraid to come forward. The EEOC investigated this non profit for over a year talking to hundreds of people. Because they are nationwide the EEOC instigated SYSTEMIC CHANGE. I have a thousand documents. There is a reason I learned about injunctions from you. Everything happens for a reason. I am in pro se so if you give me the law and how to do this I will order all forms from you and do it. You are the best Research Attorneys. I need to get more time from the judge because the trial readiness conference is in May. With your company I am not afraid. I know about SLAP to help the Whistle-blower. Do you know of anything? If you email me to call you that would be great. I can pay for this.

Answer:

I am assuming from your information there is a pending action against the EEOC. If a party to an action needs information from the other party, the discovery rules apply. You did indicated if the action was in federal or state court but the general principles are the same.
One party may seek information on a particular matter that is related to claims of the lawsuit. This is usually done through interrogatories which the other party must answer. If the party fails or refuses to answer, a Motion to Compel may be made to the court to require the answer be given or the documents produced.

A motion is a request asking a judge to issue a ruling or order on a legal matter. Usually, one side files a motion, along with notice of the motion to the attorney for the opposing party, the other side files a written response, and the court holds a hearing, at which the parties give brief oral arguments. Other motions are decided by the written submissions alone, without a hearing. However, during a trial or a hearing, an oral motion may be permitted. Then the court issues a ruling (order) which approves or denies the motion. Motions are often made before trials to resolve procedural and preliminary issues, and may be made after trials to enforce or modify judgments. Motions are made in court all the time for many purposes such as to continue a trial to a later date, to get a modification of an order, for temporary child support, for a judgment, for dismissal of the opposing party's case, for a rehearing, for sanctions, to compel discovery responses and many other reasons.

A motion to compel discovery responses is filed when a party who has propounded discovery to either the opposing party or a third party believes that the discovery responses are insufficient. The motion to compel is used to ask the court to order the non-complying party to produce the documentation or information requested, and/or to sanction the non-complying party for their failure to comply with the discovery requests. A motion to compel discover responses with exhibits may be filed by the party propounding the discovery if there is no response to the document requests, or if the discovery responses are not adequate and the filing party needs the documents marked as exhibits.

Injunctive relief consists of a court order called an injunction, requiring an individual to do or not do a specific action. It is an extraordinary remedy that courts utilize in special cases where preservation of the status quo or taking some specific action is required in order to prevent possible injustice. For example, in a custody case, an injunction may be used to prevent a party from removing a child from the country. Injunctive relief is an equitable remedy granted when money damages are not able to compensate the plaintiff's violation of rights if an injuction is not granted. Failure to comply with a notice of an injunction is punishable by beingheld in contempt of court.

There are two types of injunctions: a preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order (TRO). The purpose of both is to maintain the status quo -- to insure a plaintiff that the defendant will not either make him or herself judgment-proof, or insolvent in some way, or to stop him or her from acting in a harmful way until further judicial proceedings are available. The court uses its discretionary power to balance the defendant's due process rights against the possibility of the defendant becoming judgment-proof, and the immediacy of the threat of harm to the plaintiff. Courts can also issue preliminary injunctions to take effect immediately and effective until a decision is made on a permanent injunction, which can stay in effect indefinitely or until certain conditions are met. A mandatory injunction is one which orders a party to requires them to do something or perform an act. A restrictive injunction prevents a party from taking an action. In many jurisdictions, plaintiffs demanding an injunction are required to post a bond.

Due to the complexity of the matter, we would recommed that you seek further counsel from a local attorney.
