UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

DELIA WILSON, on Behalf of 

Herself and All Others 

Similarly Situated,

 Plaintiff,

v.

CONAIR CORPORATION,

 Defendant.

CIV. NO. 1:14-00894 WBS SAB

ORDER

----oo0oo----

On August 17, 2015, Magistrate Judge Boone denied 

plaintiff’s motion to compel production of numerous curling irons 

in defendant’s possession for destructive testing. Judge Boone 

explained that, because the testing addresses the merits of the 

action and not class certification, defendant should not be 

compelled to produce the curling irons unless and until plaintiff 

prevails on her motion for class certification. (See Aug. 17, 

2015 Order at 6:4-7:2); see also Del Campo v. Kennedy, 236 F.R.D. 

454, 459 (N.D. Cal. 2006) (“Prior to certification of a class 

action, discovery is generally limited and in the discretion of

the court.”). 

In seeking reconsideration of Judge Boone’s Order, 

plaintiff must show that his decision was “clearly erroneous or 

contrary to law.” E.D. Local R. 303(f). Not only is the 

decision not “clearly erroneous,” it makes a lot of sense.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for 

reconsideration of the August 17, 2015 Order denying her motion 

to compel be, and the same hereby is, DENIED.

Dated: September 15, 2015
