ANTHONY W. ROBINSON,

Plaintiff,

No. 2:12-cv-2783 MCE GGH PS

v.

ORDER

COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN,

13

Defendant.

14
On April 11, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion to compel responses to interrogatories and

15
16

production of documents. (ECF No. 67.) Much of the motion is untimely in seeking to compel

17

discovery beyond the April 24, 2014 cutoff.1 Therefore, plaintiff’s motion will be denied except

18

for discovery relating to plaintiff’s previous motion to compel, filed January 28, 2014. (ECF No.

19

35.)

20

The two matters which will be considered are plaintiff’s request for emails dated between

21

November 14, 2007 and July 1, 2011, in which his name is referenced (document request number

22

1), and the report completed by Spectrum Consulting in 2007/2008 (document request number 3).

23

For the time being, defendant will not be required to respond to plaintiff’s motion as it concerns

24

emails in which he was mentioned. Defendant will, however, be required to submit the draft2

25

Spectrum Consulting Report for in camera review.

The scheduling order as modified on March 19, 2014 required discovery motions to be heard
by April 10, 2014. (ECF No. 49.)
2
Defendant has previously represented that the final version is not in its possession.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

2

1. Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery, filed April 11, 2014, (ECF No. 67), is vacated

3
4

from the law and motion calendar for May 8, 2014.
2. Within seven days of this order, defendant shall submit the Spectrum Consulting

5

Report in its possession directly to this court’s chambers (Suite 13-220) for in camera review.
