United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHELLE-LAEL B. NORSWORTHY,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY BEARD, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00695-JST 

DISCOVERY ORDER

Before the Court is a discovery dispute concerning the legal sufficiency of Plaintiff 

Michelle-Lael Norsworthy's responses to seven interrogatories and nine document requests. 

Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties and the Court's order of December 15, 2014, ECF No. 44, 

the Court is resolving these disputes based on a joint e-mail dated February 9, 2015, a copy of 

which is attached to this order as Exhibit A. 

Defendant Raymond J. Coffin seeks an order requiring Norsworthy to supplement her 

responses to the interrogatories and document requests at issue. The Court will deny the request. 

From the parties' statements at the telephonic conference held on February 13, 2015, it is apparent 

that the information Coffin seeks has either already been the subject of questioning at deposition, 

or is contained within documents produced by Defendants to Plaintiff. Thus, the information 

Defendants seek is equally within their possession. Defendant has made no showing that it would 

be appropriate in this case to shift the burden of reviewing the documents to Plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 18, 2015
