No. C 14-04293 WHA

This order summarizes the ruling made on the record at the March 17 discovery hearing.

17

For the reasons stated on the record, Kenneth Hayden shall appear for a deposition in Austin,

18

Texas on March 27. Plaintiff cannot take Mr. Hayden’s deposition again after March 27, unless

19

plaintiff shows that defendant should have produced more pertinent records prior to the

20

deposition, taking into account the extensive and overbroad nature of at least some of plaintiff’s

21

document requests (served in February 2015), a question not yet teed up for decision.

22

If, however, defendant responds with virtually all responsive documents relevant to the

23

deposition before it occurs, then the fact that a few straggler documents show up later will not be

24

grounds to re-take the deposition.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
