UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

ELLEN HARDIN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MENDOCINO COAST DISTRICT 

HOSPITAL, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 17-cv-05554-JST (TSH) 

ORDER CONCERNING DEPOSITIONS

The Court had another telephonic hearing today concerning depositions in this action. 

With regard to Amy McColley’s deposition, the Court previously ruled that it should take 

place on June 14, 2019 at 12:30 p.m. in San Francisco. For the reasons stated on the record, the 

Court ORDERS McColley’s counsel to tell Plaintiff’s counsel by noon tomorrow whether 

McColley can be available for deposition in the afternoon of June 19 in Mendocino. If she can, 

the deposition will take place there and then. If not, then it will be in San Francisco on June 14 as 

previously ordered. 

Per the agreement of the parties, Cindy Richards’ deposition has been rescheduled for June 

19 at 10:00 a.m. in Mendocino. The Court ORDERS Richards’ counsel to meet and confer with 

Plaintiff’s counsel concerning any costs he should have to pay due to Richards’ last-minute 

cancelation of today’s deposition. If they cannot reach an agreement, they may file a joint letter 

brief with the Court on that issue. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: 6/12/2019
