The NABP filed a motion Tuesday to release more discovery requests. The motion contains six attachments - three directed at the BOR and three at Warren.
According to court documents obtained by The Red & Black through an open records request filed last week, the NABP made 34 different requests for documents and information pertaining to every review course and class taught by Warren at the University since 1990.

Plaintiff's motion to execeed allowed number of discovery request and supporting memorandumThe NABP filed a lawsuit against Warren and the Board of Regents on Aug. 3.
According to court documents, the NABP is investigating Warren for collecting and disseminating exam questions protected by copyright regulations. The court papers cite copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract in the lawsuit.
On Aug. 23, the NABP suspended all administrations of the NAPLEX and other compromised tests.
The exams "will be reactivated as soon as possible when NABP is confident that both examinations are able to validly assess the entry-level competence of pharmacists to safely practice pharmacy," according to the NABP Web site.
The motion, filed by NABP, requested the BOR admit whether Warren was acting "within or outside the scope of his employment" in teaching the review courses. It also requested the identification of each and every member of the BOR with knowledge of the NAPLEX review course.
The motion also requested documents be produced regarding review courses taught by Warren.
The court papers call for the names of everyone employed by the College of Pharmacy and every member of the BOR since 1995.
The NABP requested information about any extra or course credit awarded by Warren to students relating to supplying questions or answers of "actual or purported" NAPLEX questions, according to the motion filed a month after the case was brought forward.
NABP requested, "whether Warren was compensated for teaching such Review Course" by the BOR, the College of Pharmacy, the University or a third party, according to court documents.
