5:36 PM PT -- Smokey's lawyer Christopher Frost tells TMZ in response ... "We are, unfortunately, not surprised that these plaintiffs and their lawyers are trying to get more media attention just after Mr. Robinson has announced new tour dates. We have explained in our lawsuit against them that their only real motivation is to recycle false allegations, vomit them all over the media at strategic times, and hope that they will affect Mr. Robinson's livelihood and career enough to extort him into an undeserved settlement. That will not happen no matter how desperate Plaintiffs’ tactics become."

Frost continues ... "The plaintiffs’ recycled lamentations are clearly intended to mislead the public and hide their own misconduct. The truth is this: their discovery motions are a routine part of litigation and not newsworthy. What is newsworthy is the level of plaintiffs’ obfuscation and obstruction, for which we have repeatedly had to seek the court's intervention."

He adds ... “It is the plaintiffs’ obfuscation and obstruction, for which we have repeatedly had to seek the court's intervention, that is at issue here, on everything from completing depositions to imaging of cell phones to the numerous appeals we have had to make to the court to get deposition transcripts sent to the Los Angeles District Attorney. For them to somehow suggest the shoe is on the other foot could not be more absurd.”

Attorneys representing several of Smokey Robinson's accusers say they've asked a judge to step in … accusing the Motown legend of dragging his feet in the ongoing sexual-assault lawsuit.

John Harris -- who represents Jane Does 1 through 4 -- tells TMZ his team filed four motions to compel further discovery on Tuesday after what he describes as months of delays and incomplete responses from Smokey and his wife, Frances Robinson.

Harris claims the Robinsons' discovery responses have been "evasive" and "designed to stall the progress of the case," arguing the couple has repeatedly failed to comply with California's discovery rules.
