IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT VALLADON, ET AL.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

CITY OF OAKLAND,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-07478 SI

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’

REQUEST FOR A STATUS CONFERENCE

Plaintiffs request a status conference to review a discovery dispute that has arisen between the

parties regarding defendant’s electronic payroll records. The Court is pleased to note that since

plaintiffs’ initial request, the parties have worked out most of their differences and defendant has now

provided plaintiffs with the electronic payroll data they requested. Plaintiffs contend, however, that this

payroll data is of little use without an understanding of the meaning of the computer codes used with

each payroll entry. Defendant apparently has offered to meet with plaintiffs to explain the meaning of

any codes that are unclear, but has denied that there are any documents explaining the meaning of these

codes. In an effort to move along discovery in this case, the Court orders defendant (1) to produce a

document explaining the codes relevant to plaintiffs’ claim or, if no such document exists, (2) to either

create such a document or meet promptly with plaintiffs to explain the relevant codes. Accordingly, the

Court DENIES plaintiffs’ request for a status conference. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 3, 2007
