Case No. 06cv1452-JM (BLM)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ EX

PARTE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE

MOTION TO COMPEL AND SETTING

BRIEFING SCHEDULE 

[Doc. No. 46]

On September 19, 2007, Defendants filed an Ex Parte Motion for

Leave to File a Motion to Compel because, in light of Defendants’

counsel’s representations to the Court when counsel called chambers to

request a hearing date for the motion to compel, it appeared Defendants’

motion was untimely. Doc. No. 46. Having reviewed Defendants’ ex parte

motion, it now is apparent that Defendants did not receive the discovery

response at issue in the motion to compel from Plaintiff until August 6,

2007. Id. at 2. Accordingly, the motion to compel is timely under the

Court’s discovery order.1

it is unclear when Plaintiff served his responses but the Court is able to verify from

the docket that Defendants received the responses on August 6, 2007, the Court will use

the latter date for purposes of interpreting its Order.

2 06cv1452-JM(BLM)

Good cause having been shown, Defendants’ ex parte motion is

GRANTED and IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Compel attached at

Doc. No. 46 be deemed FILED. Plaintiff shall file his opposition to the

motion to compel on or before October 9, 2007. Defendants shall file

their reply, if any, on or before October 16, 2007. Unless the Court

directs otherwise in advance, pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(d)(1), the

matter will be resolved without oral argument and no personal

appearances are required. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
