ORDER ON EX PARTE APPLICATIONS

SHORTENING TIME TO HEAR MOTIONS

(Document 50, 51 and 53)

On June 24, 2010, Plaintiff, Sona Vartanian filed a Motion for a Protective Order to

prevent the taking of her deposition by Defendant Essegian (Defendant) on June 29, 2010 on the

basis that her psychiatrist has recommended that it would be adverse to her treatment if she were

to do so. On June 25, 2010, Defendant Essegian filed Motion to Compel the taking of the 1

deposition, or in the alternative, a Motion to Extend the deadlines outlined in this Court’s

Scheduling Order issued on February 4, 2010. (Doc. 40 and 51). On June 28, 2010, Defendant

also filed a Motion to Compel the production of Plaintiff’s psychiatric records. Defendant filed

Ex Parte Applications to hear these motions on shortened time. (Doc. 51 and 53).

Given that the non-expert discovery deadline in this case is July 10, 2010, Defendant has

established good cause and the Ex Parte Applications Shortening time are GRANTED. Because

Defendant’s Motion to Compel the taking of Plaintiff’s depostion and Defendant’s Motion to

Compel Plaintiff’s pyschiatric records, as well as Plaintiff’s Motion for Protective order relate to

the same issue, all motions will be heard on July 2, 2010, at 9:30 am in Courtroom 10. Any

opposition to any motion shall be filed by June 30, 2010 at 12:00 pm. Any reply to any motion

shall be filed by July 1, 2010 at 12:00 pm. Counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant Essegian shall

personally appear for the hearing. Counsel for Defendants Silva and Wilson may appear by

telephone if they wish to do so since they have not filed the motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
