Plaintiff, No. C 06-06247 CW (MEJ) DISCOVERY ORDER RE DECEMBER 14, 2009 LETTER [Dkt. #206] HARTFORD LIFE & ACCIDENT INSURANCE CO., et al., Defendants. _____________________________________/ 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 On December 14, 2009, the parties in this matter filed a joint letter detailing a dispute over deposition subpoenas served by Defendant on three non-parties. (Dkt. #206.) The Court has considered the parties' arguments and RULES as follows: Because the presiding judge in this matter has not authorized a re-opening of discovery on Plaintiff's request for attorneys' fees and related issues, Defendant's subpoenas are unauthorized. The Court therefore GRANTS Plaintiff's request to quash the subpoena issued by this Court and served on Teresa Renaker. The Court further GRANTS Plaintiff's request for a protective order prohibiting Defendant from enforcing the subpoenas issued by the other courts on Ronald Dean and Mary Ellen Signorille. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: December 17, 2009 _______________________________ Maria-Elena James Chief United States Magistrate Judge
