This action is currently on appeal before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as

On June 14, 2016, this Court ordered the perpetuation of Plaintiff Garland Baker’s

testimony under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 27(b). (ECF No. 211.)

All parties desire to conduct a meaningful deposition to perpetuate Baker’s testimony.

In order to facilitate a meaningful deposition, Baker agrees to respond to Defendants’

27

Requests for Production of Documents under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34. Baker has

28

represented that he will provide meaningful responses; however, if any Defendant is dissatisfied

with the responses and/or corresponding production, this will not entitle that party to file

2

emergency motions seeking additional information, or otherwise upset or delay the scheduled

3

deposition set for September 22, 2016. Defendants are not precluded from taking up these issues;

4

they are simply agreeing to address such issues without delaying the deposition.

Baker has represented that he will provide the responses and the documents via a

6

flash drive that will be deposited with Federal Express on September 7, 2016, for next-day

delivery. As indicated, the deposition is scheduled for September 22, 2016.

The parties are engaging in the deposition and document production solely for the

purpose of perpetuating Baker’s testimony. No discovery is permitted as to any other individual
