UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL IMPEY,

Plaintiff, No. C-09-01973 EDL

v. ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT’S 

EX PARTE APPLICATION TO SHORTEN

TIME FOR HEARING ON MOTION TO

COMPEL INDEPENDENT MEDICAL 

EXAMINATION

 THE OFFICE DEPOT, INC.

Defendant.

_______________________________/

On June 14, 2010, the Court issued an Order extending expert discovery dates to allow

Defendant time to engage and prepare rebuttal expert reports, as well as additional time for

discovery “should Plaintiff consent to submit to a psychiatric examination by Defendant’s expert

witness.” Defendant now moves to compel an independent medical examination by its rebuttal

expert and requests that the motion be heard on shortened time on June 25, 2010 at the same time as

the currently-scheduled hearing on the Motion for Summary Judgment. 

Given the conflicting schedules of counsel for both parties and the Court (as demonstrated by

the need to specially set the hearing on the Motion for Summary Judgment) and for the convenience

of the parties and the Court, the Court finds good cause for shortening time on Defendant’s Motion

to Compel. The Court notes that Defendant’s motion is short (six pages) and does not appear to

involve complex or novel legal issues so an opposition to the motion to compel should be able to be

prepared on shortened time.

For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby Ordered that Defendant’s Ex Part Motion to Shorten

Time For Hearing on Motion to Compel ((Dkt. #79) is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall have until June

22, 2010 to file an Opposition of no more than six pages. No Reply shall be filed. The motion will

be heard on June 25, 2010 in conjunction with the Motion for Summary Judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
