IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROXANNE AYALA, et al., CASE NO. CV-F-02-5846-LJO

Plaintiff, ORDER ON UNTIMELY OPPOSITION TO

DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS TO COMPEL

vs.

KC ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, et al., 

Defendant.

 /

Pursuant to notices filed on July 13, and July 26, 2005, defendants City of Bakersfield and Terry

Buss move to compel plaintiffs to respond to discovery. No timely opposition or statement of nonopposition had been filed. Accordingly, this Court vacated the hearing and took the motions under

submission. On August 25, 2005, plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion. (Doc. 100.) The

opposition acknowledges its untimely nature, but requests that the Court consider the opposition. Based

on the reasons set forth in that opposition, the Court GRANTS the request to consider the opposition.

In the opposition, plaintiffs state that several parts of the written discovery at issue in the motion were

not received in plaintiffs’ counsel’s office until August 2005. The Court, however, notes that the

disputed discovery contains a proof of service of April 28, 2005. (Motion to Compel, Doc. 98, Exh. AF.) The Court directs defendants to respond to plaintiffs’ serious contention. The response is due by

September 2, 2005, at which time the Court will determine whether further argument on the motions is

required.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
