UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JERMAINE PADILLA,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY BEARD,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-1118 KJM CKD

ORDER

Plaintiff has noticed a motion to compel regarding the deposition of defendant Beard and 

production of a document defendant previously agreed to produce. By order filed October 19, 

2015, defendant was ordered to submit to a deposition no later than October 20, 2015, absent 

stipulation of the parties. The court regards defendant’s refusal to submit to a deposition at the 

time agreed to by the parties as a possible contempt of court. Because the date for disclosure of 

expert witnesses is imminent and the discovery sought here may be relevant to the experts’ 

analysis, the court will set an expedited briefing for this matter and submit it on the papers.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The hearing date of November 25, 2015 on plaintiff’s motion to compel is vacated.
