Plaintiff,

DISCOVERY ORDER

v.

PRESTON GILMORE, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Counsel for defendant Contra Costa County sought the Court’s assistance during the

14

deposition of plaintiff Teralyn Evans. The Court understands Plaintiff’s father, Charles Evans II,

15

wants to attend his daughter’s deposition. The Court further understands Mr. Evans is scheduled

16

to be deposed next week as a witness. Because Plaintiff is an adult (Compl. ¶ 3), and because her

17

father is a witness in the action, the Court ORDERS Mr. Evans be excluded from the deposition.

18

Should Plaintiff refuse to participate in the deposition today on the ground her father has

19

been excluded from the deposition, Plaintiff shall be responsible for the fees and costs defendants

20

have incurred today, and may be subject to further sanctions.

21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
