IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL VELIZ, et al.,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

CINTAS CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 03-1180 SBA (MEJ)

ORDER RE: AFFIRMATIVE

DEFENSE DISCOVERY

The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint letter, (Doc. #736), which concerns Plaintiffs

request to compel Defendant Cintas Corporation to respond to discovery into the factual basis for

Cintas' affirmative defense that Plaintiffs are exempt employees under the Motor Carrier Act. Upon

review of the parties' letter and the relevant discovery requests, the Court finds that Plaintiffs'

request is relevant yet overbroad. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the parties to meet and confer

for the purpose of limiting the scope of Plaintiffs' requests through stipulation. Once the parties

limit the scope, they shall agree upon production for twenty Plaintiffs. If the parties are unable to

reach an agreement, they shall file a further joint letter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
