 CIV-04-2992 PHX-JAT 

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendant's Motion to Quash the Deposition of Martin

Sanchez (Doc. #98). Defendant objects to the deposition because Plaintiff has not sought

leave from the Court to take the deposition as required by Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 31(a)(2). Rule

31(a)(2) requires a party to obtain leave of court if it wants to take more than ten depositions

on written questions. Plaintiff has taken twelve such depositions to date without obtaining

leave from the Court.

The Court will grant the motion to quash for failure to obtain leave to take the

thirteenth deposition. But, more importantly, the Court will grant the motion to quash

because discovery in this case closed on January 27, 2007. In fact, the Defendant has filed

a motion for summary judgment. The parties may have agreed to take certain depositions

after the deadline for discovery, but the Court has never extended the discovery deadline.
