IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUANNE S. JORDAN,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CAPEL, INCORPORATED,

Defendant. /

No. C 05-4939 SI

ORDER RE: DISCOVERY

The parties have filed letter briefs concerning a dispute over interrogatories plaintiff propounded

on September 7, 2006, one day before the discovery cut-off in this case.1

 Following this Court’s Order

re Discovery Disputes, which was dated September 1, 2006 but was not filed and served until September

5, 2006, plaintiff propounded additional interrogatories seeking information about defendant’s

“hospitality industry” clients. Defendant objects to those interrogatories on the ground that they are

untimely.

Although plaintiff’s interrogatories are untimely, and plaintiff should have sought a stipulation

to extend discovery prior to propounding the interrogatories, the Court will permit the interrogatories

because the Court’s order was not filed until just prior to the discovery cut-off date. It was the Court’s

expectation that the parties would cooperate regarding the scheduling of additional discovery

contemplated by the September 5, 2006 order, particularly because that order provided that plaintiff

need not supplement her responses to certain of defendant’s interrogatories until after she received any

additional discovery regarding sales to “hospitality industry” clients. 

Accordingly, defendant must respond to plaintiff’s third set of interrogatories by November 13,
