Case No. 17-cv-05351-WHA (TSH)
DISCOVERY ORDER

v.
TIGER NATURAL GAS, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

12
13

As previewed in ECF No. 294, the Court conducted a follow-up telephonic hearing this

14

morning concerning Defendant John Dyet’s document production and the scheduling of his

15

deposition. The parties have agreed to conduct his deposition during the week of January 28,

16

2019. The Court reminds the parties that the deposition must be completed by January 31, 2019.

17

See ECF No. 274.

18

In a letter dated December 13, 2018, ECF No. 306, Dyet stated he could complete his

19

document production by January 15, 2019. Plaintiffs want his documents sooner so they can have

20

more time to prepare for the deposition. The Court asked if Dyet can produce his documents by

21

January 8. His counsel said yes, and Plaintiffs stated that was acceptable to them as well.

22

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that (1) Dyet complete his document production by January 8,

23

and (2) Dyet be deposed the week of January 28 but not later than January 31.

24

At the hearing Plaintiffs previewed two additional discovery disputes. They say they

25

recently (after December 9, see ECF No. 300) discovered call logs and HR files in file cabinets in

26

storage lockers that Dyet should have produced earlier. They also say his amended written

27

discovery responses, served December 12, are inadequate. Dyet responded that he would like to

28

meet and confer with Plaintiffs about those issues. The Court ORDERS the parties to meet and

1

confer. If they are unable to reach a resolution, then pursuant to Local Rule 37-3 and ECF No.

2

300, the parties’ joint letter brief is due December 21, 2018.
