SAN JOSE DIVISION

IOANNIS KANELLAKOPOULOS,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNIMERICA LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No.5:15-cv-04674-BLF (HRL)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

Re: Dkt. No. 99

On a prior discovery dispute, this court ruled that, in fairness, defendant should have an 

opportunity to depose Laura Parker in her capacity as an expert. (Dkt. 90). Plaintiff seeks 

reconsideration of that ruling. Expedited briefing was ordered. The matter is deemed suitable for 

determination without oral argument. Civ. L.R. 7-1(b). Having considered the moving and 

responding papers, this court rules as follows:

1. Finding no basis to reverse its prior decision, the court DENIES plaintiff’s motion for 

reconsideration.

2. Defendant’s request for an award of its fees and costs incurred in opposing plaintiff’s 

motion is DENIED.

3. Any arrangements defendant wishes to make with respect to compensating Ms. Parker 

in connection with the second deposition are between defendant and Ms. Parker.
