UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ELLEN HARDIN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MENDOCINO COAST DISTRICT 

HOSPITAL, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 17-cv-05554-JST (TSH) 

DISCOVERY ORDER 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 86, 88 

The parties have filed letter briefs concerning the Defendants’ request for a medical 

examination of Plaintiff Ellen Hardin, as well as their motion to compel her mental health and 

psychiatric and past employment records. For the mental health and psychiatric records, the Court 

does not have the relevant discovery requests and responses, so cannot tell exactly what 

Defendants have asked for. The Court ORDERS the parties to submit the discovery requests at 

issue, and Hardin’s responses, by February 28, 2019. Concerning the employment files from 

Antelope Valley Hospital and Community Regional Medical Center, if the subpoenas to those two 

entities were included in ECF No. 68, then the Court does not need additional copies. However, if 

any part of the document requests to those entities now at issue were not previously submitted in 

ECF No. 68, then the Court ORDERS the parties to submit them by February 28. The Court sets 

a telephonic hearing in this matter for March 6, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: February 27, 2019
