UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRACE ELLIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

PHILLIPS AND COHEN 

ASSOCIATES, LTD.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-05539 EJD (NC)

ORDER ON JOINT DISCOVERY 

LETTER RE: DEFENDANT’S 

REQUEST TO REOPEN 

DISCOVERY TO TAKE 

PLAINTIFF’S DEPOSITION

Re: Dkt. No. 118

Having reviewed the joint discovery letter and attached exhibits presenting 

defendant Phillips’ request to reopen discovery in order to take Ellis’ deposition, the Court 

DENIES the motion for lack of good cause. The record shows that Phillips noticed a 

deposition of Ellis on February 26, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., then unilaterally canceled the 

deposition on February 25, 2016, without a good reason. Phillips’ request to now reopen 

discovery to notice a deposition with Ellis after the close of discovery does not show good 

cause and is therefore denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
