NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

BARBARA NICANDER,

Plaintiff,

 v.

LAW OFFICES OF LAURENCE A. HECKER,

ATTORNEY AT LAW, LAURENCE A.

HECKER and GREG CHANDLER,

Defendants. /

No. C07-05838 JF (HRL)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR A DISCOVERY

CONFERENCE

[Re: Docket No. 17]

Plaintiff filed an administrative motion requesting a discovery conference to discuss

deposition scheduling. According to her, defendants failed to appear for their depositions

noticed for June 12 and 13, 2008 and refused to provide alternate dates for deposition. Plaintiff

says that she may bring a noticed motion to compel and for sanctions, but she apparently has

elected not to do so now.

The court expects that the parties should be able to schedule depositions on their own

without judicial intervention; and, defendants are directed to cooperate with plaintiff in the

scheduling of their depositions. See Civ. L.R. 30-1. Although it should go without saying, if

defendants are not available on noticed dates for deposition, then they should provide alternate

dates when they can appear. Plaintiff’s motion for a discovery conference is denied; however,

the denial is without prejudice to the filing of properly noticed motion pursuant to Civil Local
