The Court GRANTS IN PART the parties’ Stipulation Regarding Locations of Plaintiffs’
Depositions (ECF No. 141), as follows:
1. All Plaintiffs [are] to be deposed in person in either the Northern
District of California or in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by the fact
discovery deadline.
2. Unless otherwise agreed to by Defendants, all Plaintiffs who seek
to be deposed in the Northern District of California must sit for their
depositions on consecutive days to each other.
3. Unless otherwise agreed to by Defendants, all Plaintiffs who seek
to be deposed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, must appear for their
depositions on consecutive days to each other.
4. Plaintiffs [shall] provide Defendants with proposed dates for their
depositions consistent with this stipulation by March 18, 2025.
See ECF No. 141-1 (Proposed Order).
The parties also stipulate that, “[a]bsent good cause, a Plaintiff’s failure to sit for their

24

deposition consistent with this stipulation is grounds for that Plaintiff’s dismissal from this action

25

with prejudice.” ECF No. 141 at 2, ¶ 4; ECF No. 141-1, ¶ 5. Any request for dispositive

26

sanctions is a matter to be addressed to the presiding district judge if it should become necessary.

27

The parties’ agreement on that point is not incorporated as on order of this Court. In declining to

28

incorporate that provision, this Order should not be construed as commenting one way or the other

1

on the degree to which the parties’ agreement regarding sanctions for failure to appear at a

2

deposition might be enforceable.
