UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GLORIA JEAN ISGAR,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD, et al.,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:18-cv-00433 JLT

AMENDED ORDER AFTER INFORMAL 

TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE RE:

DISCOVERY DISPUTE

At the request of the defendants, the Court held an informal telephonic conference related to 

ongoing discovery disputes between the parties. At the conference, the Court observed that the topics 

upon which the plaintiff sought testimony from the entity were, in most cases, significantly overbroad 

and seemed to place the burden on the defendants to attempt to figure out the discovery that the plaintiff 

sought. Though the plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Hernandez disagreed with the Court’s analysis, he agreed he 

would provide amended topics no later than by February 5, 2020. Also, the Court assisted counsel in 

developing a deposition schedule that would most efficiently allow this discovery to be completed. 

Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. Nunc pro tunc, the plaintiff SHALL serve, via email, an amended list of topics on which 

she seeks the entity’s testimony no later than February 5, 2020. The list SHALL be tailored to obtain 

information only on the issues raised by this litigation;

2. The deposition of the entity SHALL occur on February 25, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. at the 

offices of defense counsel;

3. The depositions of Ryan Maxwell, Jeremiah Holt, Robert Figueroa Jr., Travis Mc Ninch 

and the final witness, whose name was not provided to the Court, SHALL occur on March 4 and 5, 

2020. The first witness SHALL be Mr. Maxwell and counsel SHALL make all efforts—via early start 

times, short breaks and working into the evenings as needed, to complete these depositions by the end of 

the day on March 5, 2020. Only if absolutely necessary may the depositions complete on March 6, 2020

and only to the extent that the defense does not use the time for depositions they wish to take.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
