UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MATTHEW CAMPBELL, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

FACEBOOK INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-05996-PJH (MEJ)

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST 

FOR TELEPHONIC DISCOVERY 

CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 84

On June 5, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a Request for a Telephonic Discovery Conference 

concerning the deposition of Alex Himel, Defendant Facebook Inc.’s declarant for documents 

Facebook recently produced to Plaintiffs. Dkt. No. 84. Facebook submitted a response the same 

day. Dkt. No. 85. Mr. Himel is evidently unavailable for deposition until July 8, 2015, although 

the only description for why he is unavailable is an email exchange between the parties’ counsel in 

which Facebook’s counsel states that “Mr. Himel is a senior Facebook employee who manages a 

team of dozens of people and does not have requisite availability for a deposition before then.” 

Rudolph Decl., Ex. A, Dkt. No. 84-2. To assist the Court in resolving this matter, Facebook has 

until tomorrow, June 9, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. to file a declaration explaining why Mr. Himel is 

unavailable until July 8, 2015. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 8, 2015
