1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Defendants. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 / Plaintiffs have filed an ex parte application for an order shortening time for service of a motion to recover costs and for sanctions as a result of the non-appearance of a subpoenaed witness at deposition and the failure of defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company and deponent's attorney to produce the witness for deposition. Plaintiffs seek leave to set their motion for hearing on September 17, 2010, so that it may be heard with the motion for sanctions already set for hearing on that date by defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company. As both motions arise from the same events, the court finds good cause to grant plaintiffs' ex parte application. Plaintiffs shall file and serve a notice of motion and motion scheduling their motion for hearing on September 17, 2010. As provided in Local Rule 251(a), the motion shall not be accompanied by any other documents, such as a memorandum of points and authorities, declarations, or exhibits. 1
