IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDRE RHODES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1715 MCE EFB PS

vs.

ELECTRONIC DATA SYSTEMS 

CORPORATION, 

ORDER

Defendant. 

 /

On November 22, 2006, defendant Electronic Data Systems Corporation (“EDS”)

filed an ex parte application requesting an extension of time to file an opposition to plaintiff’s

motion for summary judgment, filed on November 16, 2006. In the brief supporting its ex parte

application, EDS indicated its intention to file a motion for summary judgment after it has

obtained discovery from plaintiff.1

 It appears that defendant has encountered difficulty in

obtaining plaintiff’s cooperation with discovery, and on December 20, 2006, this court will hear

EDS’ motions to compel plaintiff’s deposition, responses to interrogatories and production of

documents.

This court previously vacated the hearing on plaintiff’s motion for summary

judgment and took the motion under submission. In light of defendant’s intent to file a motion

for summary judgment as well, it is more efficient for the court to consider the parties’ crossmotions for summary judgment at the same time. Accordingly, the court will set forth a briefing

schedule to that effect at the December 20, 2006 hearing on defendant’s motions to compel. At

that hearing, the court will set deadlines for the following briefs: (1) defendant’s cross-motion

for summary judgment and its opposition to plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, which

shall be filed together as a single brief; (2) plaintiff’s opposition to defendant’s motion for

summary judgment and plaintiff’s reply to defendant’s opposition, which shall be filed together

as a single brief; and, finally, (3) defendant’s reply to plaintiff’s opposition to the defendant’s

cross motion. 

In accordance with the foregoing, the court grants, in part, defendant’s request for

an extension of time. Defendant is granted an extension of time to file an opposition to

plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, but shall file such opposition by a date to be

determined by this court at the December 20, 2006 hearing. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 28, 2006.
