FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LACEE OLIVAREZ,

Plaintiff,

 v.

SONOMA COUNTY SHERIFFS

DEPARTMENT, ET AL., 

Defendants. /

No. 3:13-cv-01918-CRB

ORDER TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL

DECLARATION

The Court previously received a letter from Dalton R. Carpenter, M.D., alleging that

attorney Waukeen McCoy failed to pay Dr. Carpenter the agreed-upon compensation for a

deposition on October 1, 2014, in the above-titled matter. See Letter (Dkt. 86). The Court

ordered Mr. McCoy to show cause by personal appearance why this Court should not order

Mr. McCoy to pay Dr. Carpenter the $1,500 that was purportedly agreed as deposition

compensation. The Court has carefully reviewed the filings of both Dr. Carpenter and Mr.

McCoy in relation to this matter, including Mr. McCoy’s declaration (dkt. 89 at Attachment

1), and notes the discrepancy between Mr. McCoy’s and Dr. Carpenter’s descriptions of the

fee that was agreed for the deposition. The Court also notes that Mr. McCoy’s declaration

does not address the fee agreed for the October 1 deposition, but rather describes fee

schedules for previous depositions. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Mr. McCoy to

file a supplemental declaration that specifically answers, under oath, the question whether
