REGIS CORPORATION,

Re: Dkt. No. 47

Defendant.

United States District Court

Now pending before the Court is a discovery dispute regarding the deposition of plaintiff

14

Rhonda Groves. Dkt. No. 47. Defendant filed a discovery dispute letter on November 6, 2015, to

15

which plaintiff filed a response on November 10, 2015. Dkt. Nos. 47, 48. Defendant objected to

16

the response on November 11, 2015. Dkt. No. 49. This is the first discovery dispute in this case.

17

Defendant asserts that plaintiff’s counsel engaged in inappropriate coaching that prevented

18

plaintiff from responding to defendant’s questions at her deposition. Defendant seeks a protective

19

order, an order compelling plaintiff to answer defendant’s questions, and sanctions. Neither party

20

has lodged a copy of the deposition transcript with the Court. The Court therefore ORDERS

21

defendant to file a copy of plaintiff’s deposition transcript no later than November 30, 2015.
