But if the restraining/delaying/whatever order is not _granted_, which apparently it wasn’t, isn’t the point moot and today is BHO’s last day to either put up or [be] shut up? Just _asking_ for restraint/delay/dismissal isn’t grounds for not meeting an otherwise effective deadline.

The motion for protective order hasn't been ruled on yet (at this rate, the court may just go ahead and grant the motion to dismiss, which would render the RFAs moot). A pending motion for a protective order is certainly grounds for not responding to discovery.
