IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MOYSE HOWARD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER

CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendant. /

No. C 05-4069 SI

ORDER RE: DISCOVERY

Plaintiff has renewed a motion to compel four depositions.1 The Court has reviewed the

deposition excerpts provided by plaintiff, as well as the e-mail correspondence between counsel. The

Court finds that counsel agreed that depositions of the individual defendants could take place after the

discovery cut-off, but that there was never any similar agreement with respect to percipient witnesses.

The e-mail correspondence between counsel reflects mutual difficulties regarding scheduling the

individual defendants’ depositions. 

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS plaintiff’s motion to compel the depositions of defendants Hall

and Shelton, and DENIES the balance of the motion. The parties shall meet and confer regarding the

scheduling of the Hall and Shelton depositions. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 29, 2007 SUSAN ILLSTON
