UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON ZAJONC,

Plaintiff,

v.

MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-14-5563 EMC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE

RELIEF

(Docket No. 41)

Defendants have filed an administrative motion asking for continuance of the initial case

management conference (“CMC”) and a stay of discovery pending a decision on Defendants’

motion to dismiss, stay, or transfer. Having considered the parties’ briefs and accompanying

submissions, as well as all other evidence of record, the Court hereby DENIES the motion for relief.

In the underlying motion, the primary relief sought by Defendants is a transfer to the

Southern District of Florida. But as Plaintiff points out, regardless of the venue in which this case

will be litigated, discovery will need to happen. Thus, there is no reason to stay discovery or delay

the initial CMC. To the extent discovery sought in this case is duplicative of the discovery sought in

the Florida case, then the parties should meet and confer to see whether they can reach an agreement

regarding the use of the discovery obtained in the Florida case here. The Court advises the parties

that they risk being sanctioned should they fail to meet and confer in good faith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
