IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN PEREZ, et al., CASE NO. CV-F-05-0383 LJO

Plaintiffs, ORDER TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL

DISCOVERY SANCTION

vs.

CSK AUTO, et al.,

Defendant.

 /

This Court issued its November 28, 2005 order to compel plaintiffs Martin Perez and Bobby

Alba’s (collectively “plaintiffs’”) F.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1) initial disclosures, discoveryresponses, document

production and deposition attendance. This Court ordered defense counsel to file and serve her

declaration to itemize reasonable legal expenses to secure the order to compel plaintiffs’ deposition

attendance. On December 2, 2005, defense counsel filed her declaration to request a $543 sanction

against plaintiffs and comprising $255 attorney fees (one hour multiplied by $255 hourly rate) and $288

court reporter fees to secure certificates of plaintiffs’ non-appearance at their November 14 and 15, 2005

depositions. For the reasons discussed in its November 28, 2005 order, this Court finds that defendant

CSK Auto (“CSK”) is entitled to an additional $543 sanction against plaintiffs to address plaintiffs’

failure to attend their November 14 and 15, 2005 depositions.

On the basis of good cause, this Court ORDERS plaintiffs, no later than December 19, 2005, to

PAY CSK a $543 sanction for failure to attend their November 14 and 15, 2005 depositions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
