Case No. 14-cv-04054 NC 

ORDER RE: INITIAL DISCLOSURES

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GENERAL EMPLOYEES TRUST FUND 

and BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF 

GENERAL EMPLOYEES TRUST FUND, 

 Petitioners, 

 v. 

YUL HERMES, an individual, 

 Respondent. 

Case No. 14-cv-04054 NC

ORDER GRANTING MOTION BY 

RESPONDENT YUL HERMES 

FOR ISSUANCE OF ORDER 

SETTING SEQUENCE AND 

SCOPE OF INITIAL 

DISCLOSURES, IF ANY 

Re: Dkt. No. 32 

This is an action brought under § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, as 

amended, 29 U.S.C. § 185, to enforce an arbitration award against respondent Yul Hermes 

on an alter ego theory. Dkt. No. 1. Hermes now moves for an order that the action is 

exempt from the initial disclosure requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

26(a)(1)(A), or in the alternative, for an order altering the sequence and scope of Hermes’s 

initial disclosures. Dkt. No. 32. Petitioners oppose the motion. Dkt. No. 40. The Court 

finds the motion suitable for resolution without oral argument, see Civ. L.R. 7-1(b), and 

GRANTS the motion as follows: 

The Court finds that this action is exempt from initial disclosures under Federal Rule 

of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1)(B)(ix). However, the Court has not stayed discovery and 

nothing in this order prevents the parties from proceeding with discovery. 

In his motion, Hermes asserts that petitioners have improperly refused to respond to 

discovery requests propounded by Hermes on the basis of the pendency of this motion.
