Plaintiffs moved to quash a non-party witness deposition scheduled in Hong Kong on ten

17

days’ notice. Upon review of the parties’ letter briefs, the motion is DENIED. Plaintiffs’ counsel

18

are members of Steptoe and Johnson firm, which is a large, international firm that should have

19

the resources to cover this deposition. Moreover, plaintiffs’ proposed alternative date of October

20

25 does not appear to be viable given the non-party witness’ schedule.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
