DISCOVERY ORDER

Case No. 17-cv-05554-JST (TSH)

Re: Dkt. Nos. 161, 165, 166
MENDOCINO COAST DISTRICT
HOSPITAL, et al.,
Defendants.

15
Defendants are correct that the Court’s order at ECF No. 160 was intended to vacate the

16
17

briefing and hearing schedule on discovery letter briefs that was discussed during the July 12,

18

2019 telephonic hearing in light of the District Judge’s subsequent enlargement of time, which

19

changed the deadline to file motions to compel. The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiff’s

20

discovery letter briefs at ECF No. 161 without prejudice and ORDERS the parties to meet and

21

confer concerning the issues raised in the letters and, if they are unable to resolve them, to file

22

joint discovery letter briefs.
This afternoon Plaintiff filed a request for an extension of time to respond to ECF No. 165.

23
24

That narrow request is moot in the light of the above orders. In the body of her motion, Plaintiff

25

also asks that “any further responses from Ms. White to pending matters,” including motions to

26

quash subpoenas the Court has not seen, not be due until after August 2 when Ms. White returns

27

from medical leave. This broad request is DENIED without prejudice because it is sweeping and

28

vague.

1

This order resolves ECF Nos. 161, 165 and 166.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
