MAUREEN PATRICIA MURPHY,

Plaintiff,

v.

RENAL TREATMENT CENTERS -

CALIFORNIA, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-05206-SBA (JSC)

ORDER COMPELLING DEPOSITION

Re: Dkt. No. 74

This employment discrimination case has been referred to the undersigned magistrate 

judge for the purposes of discovery. (Dkt. No. 58.) Presently before the Court is the letter brief of 

Defendant Renal Treatment Centers – California, Inc. (“Defendant”), which is a renewed request 

for an order compelling Plaintiff Maureen Murphy (“Murphy”) to appear for her deposition and 

imposing monetary sanctions against Murphy and her counsel. (Dkt. No. 74.) On March 4, 2015, 

in response to Defendant’s initial request for such an order (Dkt. No. 68), and upon consideration 

of Murphy’s response (Dkt. No. 72), which indicated that the parties had been in discussions to 

reach a mutually acceptable date for the deposition, the Court ordered Murphy to submit a letter 

by March 9, 2015 stating the agreed upon date and time of her deposition. (Dkt. No. 73.) Murphy 

failed to comply with that order and filed no such letter. 

Accordingly, Defendant’s request is GRANTED IN PART. It is hereby ORDERED that 

Murphy’s deposition shall occur within ten (10) days of this Order. Plaintiff shall respond to 

Defendant’s request for monetary sanctions by Friday, March 13, 2015. Failure to respond may 

be deemed concession that sanctions are warranted. See Ardente v. Shanley, No. C 07-4479 MHP, 

2010 WL 546485, at *6 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 10, 2010).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
