v.
THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN

Defendants.

18

Before the Court are two motions: (1) plaintiffs’ “Motion for Terminating Sanctions,

19

or, in the Alternative, Lesser Sanctions, Against Defendants for Their Intentional Spoliation

20

of Relevant Evidence,” filed August 7, 2015; and (2) defendants’ “Motion for Summary

21

Judgment, or in the Alternative, Partial Summary Judgment,” filed August 7, 2015. Both

22

motions are presently scheduled for hearing on September 18, 2015.

23

Having read and considered the papers filed in support of and in opposition to both

24

motions, the Court finds it preferable to first consider plaintiffs’ motion, as the resolution

25

thereof may bear on the Court’s determination of defendants’ motion.

26

Accordingly, the Court will hear plaintiffs’ motion, but not defendants’ motion, on the

27

scheduled date, September 18, 2015. After ruling on plaintiffs’ motion, the Court will

28

advise the parties whether oral argument and/or supplemental briefing on defendants’

motion is necessary.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
