ANDREW LEE,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE PEP BOYS-MANNY MOE & JACK 

OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-05064-JSC 

ORDER RE: DISCOVERY DISPUTE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 115, 117

This Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”) and California Unfair Competition 

Law (“UCL”) putative class action arises out of the collection of debt incurred by an employee’s 

alleged misuse of his employee discount and for changing the oil on his car while at work. Now 

pending before the Court is Defendant’s request for an order (1) compelling Plaintiff Andrew Lee 

to appear at defense counsel’s San Francisco office to complete his deposition, (2) appointing a 

special master to assist with the completion of that deposition, and (3) imposing sanctions. (Dkt. 

No. 115.) Having reviewed the parties’ submissions, including transcripts of Plaintiff’s two 

aborted depositions, the Court GRANTS IN PART Defendant’s request. Plaintiff shall appear to 

complete his deposition at Courtroom F, 15th Floor, U.S. District Court, 450 Golden Gate, San 

Francisco, California. The parties shall contact the deputy clerk, Ada Means 

(Ada_Means@cand.uscourts.gov), to schedule a suitable date for the deposition. For all future 

depositions, regardless of which party is taking the deposition, all objections as to form are 

preserved; thus, the only objections that counsel shall make going forward are on grounds of 

privilege. The Court reserves ruling on the request for sanctions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 23, 2015
