Plaintiff,

ORDER

R. FINE, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Defendant has filed a motion for clarification of the court’s April 30, 2021 order

18

modifying the discovery and scheduling order. ECF No. 50. The April 30, 2021 order provided

19

defendant an opportunity to re-serve his written requests for discovery and extended the deadlines

20

for filing motions to compel and dipositive motions. ECF No. 49. Defendant requests

21

clarification as to whether his deadline to take plaintiff’s deposition is also extended. ECF No. 50

22

at 2. He explains that because his requests for discovery and correspondence were returned as

23

undeliverable, he could not serve anything on plaintiff, including a notice of deposition, with

24

confidence that it would be received. He contends that he would be prejudiced if he was unable

25

to take plaintiff’s deposition. Id. at 2.

26

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. Defendant’s motion for clarification, ECF No. 50, is GRANTED.

28

2. The extension of the discovery deadline includes defendant’s deadline to take
1

1

plaintiff’s deposition and defendant shall have until July 6, 2021, to conduct plaintiff’s deposition

2

and file any necessary motions to compel related to the taking of plaintiff’s deposition.
