UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Pending before the Court is the parties’ joint discovery dispute letter filed on December 14,

14

2011. Dkt. No. 99. In the joint letter, Defendants Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo & Co., and

15

Pam Rubio seek to compel the deposition of Dreydy Metelin on a mutually convenient date before

16

trial. Defendants argue that good cause exists to grant their request because “Plaintiffs Yesenia

17

Guitron and Judi Klosek engaged in obstruction of Defendants’ ability to take Ms. Metelin’s

18

deposition before the fact discovery cut-off date—October 5, 2011—in this action.” Id. Federal

19

Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) permits a court to modify a scheduling order for good cause.

20

However, it is up to the presiding judge to determine whether a scheduling order should be

21

modified. Accordingly, Defendants’ request is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to bringing the

22

request before the presiding judge, the Honorable Claudia Wilken.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
