On June 5, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a Request for a Telephonic Discovery Conference

14

concerning the deposition of Alex Himel, Defendant Facebook Inc.’s declarant for documents

15

Facebook recently produced to Plaintiffs. Dkt. No. 84. Facebook submitted a response the same

16

day. Dkt. No. 85. Mr. Himel is evidently unavailable for deposition until July 8, 2015, although

17

the only description for why he is unavailable is an email exchange between the parties’ counsel in

18

which Facebook’s counsel states that “Mr. Himel is a senior Facebook employee who manages a

19

team of dozens of people and does not have requisite availability for a deposition before then.”

20

Rudolph Decl., Ex. A, Dkt. No. 84-2. To assist the Court in resolving this matter, Facebook has

21

until tomorrow, June 9, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. to file a declaration explaining why Mr. Himel is

22

unavailable until July 8, 2015.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
