UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KRISTI VERMA, VISHAL VERMA, 

AND ZENTEK CORPORATION, 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

EFRAT OKEV, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-865-MCE-EFB 

ORDER 

 On November 24, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion to compel defendant Efrat Okev to 

produce documents and a motion to compel defendants to produce Michael Prendergast for 

deposition. ECF Nos. 62, 63. Plaintiffs noticed their motions for hearing on February 4, 2015. 

 On March 18, 2014, the assigned district judge issued a Pretrial Scheduling Order, which 

provides that all discovery shall be completed by August 22, 2014. ECF No. 43 at 2. The order 

further provides that “‘completed’ means that all discovery shall have been conducted so that all 

depositions have been taken and any disputes related to discovery shall have been resolved by 

appropriate order if necessary, and, where discovery has been ordered, the order has been 

complied with.” Id. 

 On July 31, 2014, the assigned district judge approved the parties’ stipulation to extend 

the discovery cutoff date to October 21, 2014. ECF No. 51. On October 30, 2014, the assigned

district judge approved the parties’ second stipulation to modify the scheduling order, this time 

extending the discovery cutoff to December 12, 2014. ECF No. 54. Thus, all discovery is 

required to be completed by December 12, 2014. 

 In light of the December 12, 2014 deadline, this court will have no authority to consider 

the motions compel on February 4, 2015. Accordingly, the motions to compel, ECF Nos. 62, 63, 

are denied without prejudice and the February 4, 2015 hearing thereon is vacated. 

 So Ordered 

DATED: December 10, 2014.
