IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ZURICH INSURANCE COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C-08-05005 MMC (EDL)

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S AND

DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS TO

SHORTEN TIME

On August 3, 2010, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Quash the Subpoena for Deposition of Joshua

Bloom and a Motion to Compel or Alternatively for In Camera Review. Also on that day,

Defendants filed a Motion to Compel the Deposition of Joshua Bloom. Both sides have filed

motions to shorten time to hear these motions. Plaintiff informed the Court that it did not oppose

Defendants’ Motion to Shorten Time. Defendants filed an opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to

Shorten Time, stating that they opposed only shortening time for Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel. 

Good cause appearing, Plaintiff’s Motion to Shorten Time to hear the Motion to Quash

Subpoena and Defendants’ Motion to Shorten Time to hear the Motion to Compel Deposition are

granted in part. Pursuant to the parties’ proposed briefing schedule, oppositions to the Motion to

Quash and Motion to Compel shall be filed no later than August 17, 2010, and replies, if any, shall

be filed no later than August 20, 2010. The hearing for these motions is scheduled for August 31,

2010 at 2:00 p.m. 

There is no good cause to grant Plaintiff’s Motion to Shorten Time to hear Plaintiff’s Motion

to Compel. Thus, the Motion to Compel shall be heard on a regularly noticed schedule. The Court,

however, is unavailable on September 7 and 14, 2010. Therefore, Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel shall

be heard on September 16, 2010. The Court is mindful of the September 10, 2010 discovery cutoff

date. However, if as a result of the Court’s ruling on the Motion to Compel, key documents are

produced, the Court would consider extending the deadline for related depositions after the

discovery cutoff date upon a showing of good cause. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
