UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN TENNISON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY & COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, et

al.,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-04-0574 CW (EMC)

ORDER RE JOINT LETTER OF JUNE

27, 2005

(Docket No. 262)

The parties filed a joint letter on June 27, 2005, the purported purpose of which was to notify

the Court of the results of their meet and confer regarding Mr. Tennison’s 30(b)(6) deposition(s) of

the City. In the joint letter, however, Mr. Tennison raises new issues beyond the scope of the motion

to compel he originally filed. The Court notes that this is not the first time that a party in this case

has sought to bring an issue to the Court’s attention beyond the scope of a noticed motion (or joint

letter), and the Court warns the parties, in particular, counsel for Mr. Tennison, Ethan Balogh, that it

will not tolerate such conduct in the future.

2005, at 3:00 p.m. The issues raised by Mr. Tennison in the June 27 letter need to be addressed on

an expedited basis as Judge Wilken will be hearing the summary judgment motions on August 12,

IT IS SO ORDERED.
