FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL MORENO, et al., 

Plaintiffs,

v.

ROSS ISLAND SAND & GRAVEL CO., 

et al., 

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-00691-KJN-KJN 

SCHEDULING ORDER 

On January 8, 2015, the court held a scheduling conference. William McLaughlin 

appeared by telephone for the plaintiffs, and Gregory Dyer appeared for the defendant Ross 

Island Sand & Gravel Co. After considering the parties’ joint status report, ECF No. 90, and after 

hearing from the parties, the court issues the following findings and orders. 

Jurisdiction and venue are not disputed. The parties anticipate no future joinder of 

parties or amendments to the pleadings. No motions are pending, although the parties anticipate 

future motion practice in line with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

Discovery is complete but for the deposition of one of the plaintiffs’ experts. This 

deposition shall take place no later than February 13, 2015; all disputes related to that 

deposition, including about its cost, shall be resolved by the same date.

As previously set, trial is scheduled for August 17, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. Trial briefs 

are due August 3, 2015.

Any objections to this order shall be filed no later than fourteen days from its
