IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH COLEMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. 2:90-cv-0520 LKK JFM P

vs.

EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On February 25, 2013, the parties filed a Joint Statement Re Discovery Dispute

(Joint Statement). The dispute tendered for resolution centers on plaintiffs’ request to take an

eleventh deposition in these proceedings in connection with defendants’ motion to terminate this

action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(a)(2)(A)(I). On February 22, 2013, plaintiffs served counsel for

defendants with a notice setting for March 1, 2013 the deposition of Dr. John Brim, who works

as a contract psychiatrist three days a week for defendant Department of State Hospitals (DSH). 

Defendants object to the deposition as “inappropriate” and on the grounds that plaintiffs have not

provided reasonable notice of the deposition and the deposition exceeds the ten permitted each

party as of right without leave of court.
