SAN JOSE DIVISION 

MONDRAGON, et al., 

 Plaintiffs, 

 v. 

JESUS FERNANDEZ, et. al, 

 

 Defendants.

No. C08-05722 RMW (HRL) 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ 

MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER 

[Re: Docket No. 43] 

On April 16, 2010, plaintiffs filed a one-and-one-half page motion for a protective order, 

seeking to prevent the noticed depositions of plaintiffs Florencia Aramburo Mondragon and Luis 

Alberto Zavala Fraga. The basis of the motion was that plaintiffs intended to file a motion to 

disqualify defendants’ counsel, Robert Baker, and that plaintiff Fraga was “out of touch with his 

counsel.” (Mot. 2.) Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the court finds the matter suitable for 

determination without oral argument, and the May 25, 2010 hearing is vacated. 

Plaintiffs’ motion lacks sufficient information to support that their counsel engaged in a 

proper meet-and-confer effort prior to filing the instant motion, as required by this court’s Local 

Rules. See N.D. Cal. Civ. R. 37-1. Moreover, a review of this case’s docket shows that plaintiffs 

have not filed a motion to disqualify defendants’ counsel. In sum, plaintiffs’ extremely brief 

motion—notably lacking a supportive declaration—utterly fails to establish good cause for a 

protective order concerning either plaintiffs’ deposition. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). Accordingly, 

plaintiffs’ motion is DENIED.
