ORDER SHORTENING TIME

16

In opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for leave to take the

17

deposition of the objector-appellants, their counsel has filed

18

a declaration which is largely devoted to the underlying issue

19

of whether depositions should be taken.1

20

shortening time is premised chiefly on the facts that

22
