This case came before the Court for a Case Management Conference on April 2, 2015 to
14
discuss Plaintiff’s availability for deposition. At a prior Case Management Conference on January
15
8, 2015, Plaintiff’s counsel informed the Court that Plaintiff was unavailable for deposition having
16
recently entered a residential treatment program. (Dkt. No. 74.) Plaintiff was set to be released
17
from the program on March 10, 2015. Based on the agreement of the parties, the Court ordered
18
his deposition to occur on March 18. (Dkt. No. 75.) In the interim, Plaintiff’s counsel was
19
ordered to file status reports regarding Plaintiff’s continued participation in the residential
20
treatment program in February and March. (Id.) Although Plaintiff left the residential treatment
21
in February, Plaintiff’s counsel did not file the required status reports advising the Court of this
22
fact. Plaintiff’s deposition did not occur on March 19, 2015 because Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr.
23
Shapiro, suffered an injury which rendered him incapacitated. (Dkt. No. 78.) Plaintiff’s counsel
24
represents that on March 19, Plaintiff entered another 90-day residential treatment program. (Id.)
25
Plaintiff is ORDERED TO APPEAR for deposition on July 7, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at the
26
office of Plaintiff’s counsel or another mutually agreed upon location. If Plaintiff or his counsel
27
fail to appear for the deposition, this case may be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to
28
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

case management conference shall be filed by July 23, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
