ORDER RE DISCOVERY
LETTERS

v.
HVFG LLC, et al.,
Defendants.
/

15

The parties have submitted discovery dispute letters regarding deposition scheduling and

16

document production issues. Upon review of the parties’ submissions, defendants’ counsel’s

17

objection to the August 19 deposition date is well-taken. The parties shall meet and confer and

18

agree upon a new date for the deposition for a day after August 19. The August 30 discovery

19

deadline shall be EXTENDED by THREE BUSINESS DAYS to accommodate the deposition and

20

defense counsel’s return to the United States. Regarding the proposed motion to compel,

21

plaintiffs may make their motion by letter.

22

On a separate note, defendants have incorrectly noticed their motion for certification of a

23

controlling question on less than a thirty-five day track from the date of notice (Dkt. Nos. 109,

24

113). The hearing on the motion shall be on SEPTEMBER 12 AT 8:00 A.M.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
