The matter came on for hearing on April 13, 2011. For the reasons stated on the record,

17

Defendant shall file as a supplemental filing a proposal to narrow and clarify its subpoena.

18

Defendant shall set forth with greater precision and specificity the documents it seeks from OHI

19

(e.g. course descriptions for classes taken by Plaintiff, schedule of her jobs & tasks, etc.) consistent

20

with the Court's observation that the request must be narrowly tailored and strongly justified in light

21

of the privacy and constitutional interests potentially at stake. Each document request shall be

22

followed by a brief parenthetical identifying the need for such document in this lawsuit. Defendant

23

shall also list the questions it seeks to propound in the proposed deposition of the OHI custodian of

24

record, keeping in mind the above observations.
