DAVID ORTIZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

STEVE FREITAS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00322-JSC 

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S 

DEPOSITION

This case came before the Court for a Case Management Conference on April 2, 2015 to 

discuss Plaintiff’s availability for deposition. At a prior Case Management Conference on January 

8, 2015, Plaintiff’s counsel informed the Court that Plaintiff was unavailable for deposition having 

recently entered a residential treatment program. (Dkt. No. 74.) Plaintiff was set to be released 

from the program on March 10, 2015. Based on the agreement of the parties, the Court ordered 

his deposition to occur on March 18. (Dkt. No. 75.) In the interim, Plaintiff’s counsel was 

ordered to file status reports regarding Plaintiff’s continued participation in the residential 

treatment program in February and March. (Id.) Although Plaintiff left the residential treatment 

in February, Plaintiff’s counsel did not file the required status reports advising the Court of this 

fact. Plaintiff’s deposition did not occur on March 19, 2015 because Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. 

Shapiro, suffered an injury which rendered him incapacitated. (Dkt. No. 78.) Plaintiff’s counsel 

represents that on March 19, Plaintiff entered another 90-day residential treatment program. (Id.)

Plaintiff is ORDERED TO APPEAR for deposition on July 7, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the 

office of Plaintiff’s counsel or another mutually agreed upon location. If Plaintiff or his counsel 

fail to appear for the deposition, this case may be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
