Plaintiff,

Case No.: C12-80074 CRB (JSC)
ORDER TO MEET AND CONFER RE:
ENFORCEMENT OF PLAINTIFF’S
ADMINISTRATIVE SUBPOENA

v.

15

HUNTINGTON RESTAURANTS, INC.,
16

Defendant.

17
18

Now pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to enforce an administrative

19

subpoena served on Defendant on May 6, 2011. (Dkt. No. 1.) This subpoena seeks documents

20

related to Plaintiff’s investigation of Defendant for sex discrimination against Cristina

21

Camacho. Plaintiff also seeks compensation for the cost of bringing this motion. The Court

22

ordered Defendant to show cause as to why this administrative subpoena should not be

23

enforced. (Dkt. No. 5.) Defendant responded that Huntington had attempted to comply with

24

much of the EEOC’s subpoena but protested certain requests as privileged, protected by

25

privacy rights, overly broad, or irrelevant. (Dkt. No. 7 at 4.) Plaintiff’s reply narrowed the

26

information sought and clarified the subpoena requests with regard to Defendant’s privacy and

27

privilege concerns. (Dkt. No. 8.) In light of these communications, the parties are ordered to

28

meet and confer in person at the offices of the EEOC on or before Friday, April 20, 2012. To

1

the extent any subpoena requests remain disputed after this in-person meeting, both parties

2

shall outline the contested issues in a joint letter of not more than eight pages to be filed with

3

the Court on or before Wednesday, April 25, 2012. If necessary, the Court will hear argument

4

on these issues, including Plaintiff’s motion for costs and fees, at the scheduled hearing on

5

April 26, 2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
