when it identifies the names of the deponent and the action and includes the reporter's

certification that the deposition is a true record of the testimony of the deponent.” Orr v. Bank of

America, NT & SA, 285 F.3d 764, 774 (9 Cir. 2002). th

The parties are HEREBY INFORMED that the court will dely ruling on the pending

motion for ten days. Within ten days, any party requesting the court rely on a deposition

transcript, shall provide the court with all information required to authenticate the transcript.

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
