UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIA EVA MARTINEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF TULARE, ET AL,

Defendant.

No. 1:16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

ORDER GRANTING EX PARTE 

APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER 

SHORTENING TIME TO HEAR 

MOTION TO STAY DISCOVERY 

PENDING COURT’S RULING ON 

MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF 

SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION 

OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE TO 

CHANGE VENUE 

 

 (Doc. 31)

The Court is in receipt of Defendant County of San Diego’s ex parte

application for an order shortening time to hear a motion to stay discovery pending 

the Court’s ruling on its motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or 

in the alternative, to change venue. (Doc. 31.) Pursuant to Local Rule 144(e), the 

Court finds that Defendant has shown good cause for such an order shortening time 

because it would permit the Court to hear and rule on the anticipated motion to stay 

discovery prior to the hearing on Defendant’s pending motion to dismiss, which is 

currently set to be heard on March 7, 2017.
