No. 2:14-cv-1118 KJM CKD
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
JEFFREY BEARD, et al.,
Defendants.
16
17
Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for sanctions. Because oral argument is not
18
of material assistance, this matter is submitted on the briefs. E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(g). Upon review
19
of the documents in support and opposition, and good cause appearing therefor, THE COURT
20
FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
21
Plaintiff seeks sanctions against defendant Beard and his counsel for improper conduct
22
during discovery and litigation of discovery matters. Plaintiff contends defendant responded to
23
interrogatories in a knowingly or recklessly false and/or misleading manner and that blatant
24
misinformation was used in filings by defendant seeking to bar defendant’s deposition. The court
25
has thoroughly reviewed plaintiff’s and defendant’s submissions in connection with the motion,
26
reviewed the litigation history of this case, and reviewed defendant’s interrogatory responses,
27
amendments thereto, and the transcript of defendant Beard’s deposition. The court finds no basis
28
for imposition of sanctions.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for sanctions (ECF No.
2
93) is denied, and the hearing set for January 20, 2016, is VACATED.

Dated: January 14, 2016
