UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRUCE SETH PORTNER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

SPECIALIZED LOAN SERVICES, LLC, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01736-VC 

ORDER RE DISCOVERY DISPUTE

The plaintiffs are ordered to provide every page of every requested bank statement, in 

unredacted form, to the defendants. The deadline for providing any page of any bank statement 

currently in the plaintiffs' possession is September 16, 2016. The deadline for providing any 

page of any bank statement not currently in the plaintiffs' position is September 23, 2016 (to give 

the plaintiffs additional time to get them from the banks). The discovery cutoff is extended to 

October 10, 2016, to permit the defendants to conduct additional discovery relating to the bank 

statements if necessary. This includes re-opening the depositions of the plaintiffs if necessary.

The plaintiffs are ordered to provide every page of the requested tax returns and income 

statements, unredacted, by September 16, 2016. The discovery cutoff is extended to October 10, 

2016, to permit the defendants to conduct additional discovery relating to the requested tax 

returns and income statements if necessary. This includes re-opening the depositions of the 

plaintiffs if necessary.

The plaintiffs must produce every page of every requested credit report, unredacted, by 

September 16, 2016. The discovery cutoff is extended to October 10, 2016, to permit the 

defendants to conduct additional discovery relating to the requested credit reports if necessary.

This includes re-opening the depositions of the plaintiffs if necessary. 

The discovery cutoff is extended to October 10, 2016 to permit the defendants to conduct 

discovery relating to the medical professionals identified by the plaintiffs.

This ruling serves as a final warning to the Portners that they must be reasonable in 

responding to the defendants' discovery requests. Any further failure to conduct themselves in a 

reasonable manner (in connection with discovery or any other matter pertaining to this litigation) 

will result in sanctions. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 9, 2016
