Previously, the Court appointed a master to serve as a discovery referee during the

15

either Hon. James Ware (Ret.) or Hon. David A. Garcia (Ret.) be named as master. Both retired

16

judges have provided declarations stating that they do not have conflicts, and the three individual

defendants have not objected to either retired judge serving as a master.

Accordingly, the Court hereby orders that the master presiding over the depositions be
either Judge Ware or Judge Garcia, depending on their availability.
