UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALBERTO LAINEZ, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CITY OF SALINAS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-04311-EJD (HRL)

INTERIM ORDER ON DISCOVERY 

DISPUTE JOINT REPORT 2

Re: Dkt. No. 37

Plaintiffs filed Discovery Dispute Joint Report (“DDJR”) 2. Dkt. No. 37. Plaintiffs assert 

Monterey County refused to comply with a subpoena and refused to discuss the discovery dispute 

in person as required by the undersigned’s standing order. Dkt. No. 37 at 1-3.

The undersigned’s standing order does, as Plaintiffs assert, require non-parties to meet 

parties in person in order to discuss discovery disputes. A non-party’s refusal to meet with a party 

provides a sufficient justification for this court to enter an order that resolves the discovery dispute 

against the non-party.

Plaintiffs, however, did not serve a copy of the DDJR on Monterey County. Dkt. No. 37 at 

9. Plaintiffs shall serve a copy of DDJR 2 and a copy of this order on Monterey County no later 

than March 21, 2016. Plaintiffs shall also file a proof of service no later than March 21, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 3/17/16
