plaintiff to depose Salama El Chammas, the owner of defendant Sal the Flower Guy, Inc.,

prior to the time designated in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for the

15

commencement of discovery. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(d)(1); see also N.D. Cal. Gen. Ord.

an affidavit in support of an application for a civil restraining order, which was issued

The motion is DENIED. The court finds that plaintiff has stated no good cause for
