No. C-08-5748 CW (EMC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S

MOTION TO COMPEL; AND REPORT

AND RECOMMENDATION RE

DEADLINE FOR FILING MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(Docket No. 23)

Defendant has filed a motion to compel in which it asks that Plaintiff be ordered to (1)

provide initial disclosures, (2) appear for a deposition, and (3) respond to interrogatories and

document requests without asserting any objections. Having considered the parties’ briefs and

accompanying submissions, the Court hereby GRANTS Defendant’s motion.

More specifically, the Court orders as follows.

(1) Plaintiff shall serve initial disclosures on Defendant no later than February 24, 2010.

(2) Plaintiff shall serve responses to interrogatories and document requests no later than

February 24, 2010. Any objections are deemed waived.

(3) Plaintiff shall appear for a deposition no earlier than February 25, 2010, and no later

than March 10, 2010. The parties shall meet and confer to determine a mutually agreeable date for

the deposition between February 25 and March 10. The deposition must be held by March 10,

2010.

The Court warns Plaintiff that, should he fail to comply with this Court order, Defendant

may move for sanctions, including monetary sanctions or even the sanction of dismissal. Failure to

comply with this order can lead to a finding of contempt as well. At this juncture, however, the

Court shall not issue any sanctions, or recommend that any sanctions be issued, based on Plaintiffs’

failure to provide disclosures and/or discovery.

Finally, the Court RECOMMENDS that Defendant be given until March 24, 2010, to file a

motion for summary judgment so that discovery will be completed prior to the filing. Currently,

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is due on February 26, 2010. See Docket No. 35 (order,

filed on 1/25/2010). The recommended change in schedule will not affect the trial schedule since, as

of date, no trial date has been set.

This order disposes of Docket No. 23.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 3, 2010
