NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL CHEEVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

HUAWEI DEVICE USA, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 4:18-cv-06715-JST (KAW)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION 

REGARDING ANTICIPATED 

DISCOVERY LETTER

Re: Dkt. Nos. 43, 44

On October 30, 2019, Plaintiff Paul Cheever filed an administrative motion seeking leave 

of court to attach an attorney declaration to an anticipated joint discovery letter regarding 

scheduling corporate witness depositions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6). 

(Pl.’s Mot., Dkt. No. 43.) 

On October 31, 2019, Defendants filed an opposition, and represented that they suggested 

potential dates and locations, but Plaintiff refused to discuss the same until the parties resolved 

their other discovery disputes. (Defs.’ Opp’n, Dkt. No. 44 at 2.) According to Defendants, 

Plaintiff has since reversed course and has suggested possible dates for Huawei Device USA. Id. 

Plaintiff’s administrative motion is DENIED, and the parties are ordered to follow the joint 

letter procedures outlined in the undersigned’s standing order, which includes engaging in a good 

faith meet and confer effort. The Court may request counsel correspondence if necessary, but that 

is uncommon.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 4, 2019
