NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

LAILA BATTS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, PETER

CRANDALL, CHRISTINA ARQUERO, and

DOES 3-20,

Defendants. /

No. C08-00286 JW (HRL)

ORDER OVERRULING DEFENDANTS’

OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF’S

BELATED DISCOVERY MOTIONS

[Re: Docket No. 190]

On February 10, 2010, plaintiff filed two motions to compel discovery (Docket Nos.

184, 185) and noticed them for a March 23, 2010 hearing before this court. In view of the

February 1, 2010 discovery cutoff (see Docket No. 136), defendants correctly note that

plaintiff’s discovery motions were filed two days too late. See Civ. L.R. 26-2. Plaintiff has not

responded to defendants’ objection, and this court finds no good cause for the delay. 

Nevertheless, in view of the relatively short delay, and weighing legitimate interests against

possible prejudice, this court will exercise its discretion to accept plaintiff’s untimely motions. 

Briefing shall proceed in accordance with a normal 35-day calendar under the court’s Civil

Local Rules.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: 

HOWARD R. LLOYD
