Case No.: C-06-1523 JW PVT

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

SHORTEN TIME FOR MOTION TO

COMPEL DEPOSITION AND

DENYING MOTION TO EXTEND

DISCOVERY DEADLINES

On September 17, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to shorten time for a Motion to compel

the deposition of Defendant Police Chief Stephen Lodge and to extend the discovery deadline in

this case.1

 Plaintiffs argue that a motion to shorten time is necessary in order to complete the

discovery prior to the September 21, 2007 deadline for discovery in this case. Civil Local Rule

26-2 allows a party to file a motion to compel discovery up to seven court days after the close of

discovery. Accordingly, a Motion to shorten time is not necessary to allow for the motion to be

heard and the discovery had. Similarly, an extension of the discovery deadline is not warranted.

Plaintiffs also argue that shortened time is necessary in order to complete the deposition

in time for the information to be available for any dispositive motions. The deadline for hearing

dispositive motions is November 5, 2007. Thus, good cause exists to shorten time for the motion

to compel. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Motion to Shorten Time is Granted;

2. The Motion is deemed Filed and any Opposition shall be filed no later

than September 25, 2007;

3. No Reply brief shall be filed and no hearing held on this matter absent

further order of the Court. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(b); and

4. The Motion to extend discovery deadline is Denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 19, 2007
