UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On June 22, 2016, the Court held the mid-discovery status conference. At the hearing, 

Counsel reported that they are working through obtaining a new deposition date for the plaintiff. 

Likewise, they are continuing to meet and confer related to the document request the plaintiff has 

propounded. Because the plaintiff has set the deposition of the entity on August 1, 2016, it is 

imperative that this dispute be resolved quickly so the documents will be available at that time.

three to five page letter brief outlining their positions.

In the meantime, no later than July 1, 2016, the defendant SHALL supplement its

preserve objections and to make the production based upon its assumption as to the terms it 

believes are ambiguous and to limit the scope of the request to the geography and time period it

IT IS SO ORDERED.

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

1 Whether the scope of the request will be narrowed ultimately will depend upon counsel’s meet and confer efforts 

and, if necessary, the Court’s intervention.
