UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CORLISS LEE,

Plaintiff,

v.

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-05458-VC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

SANCTIONS

Re: Dkt. No. 49

The decision whether to impose sanctions under Rule 37(b) is within the discretion of the 

district court. See Halaco Eng'g Co. v. Costle, 843 F.2d 376, 379 (9th Cir. 1988). The Court does 

not find that sanctions are warranted in this case. Accordingly, the plaintiff's motion is denied. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
