Case No. 14-cv-05539 EJD (NC)
ORDER ON JOINT DISCOVERY
LETTER RE: DEFENDANT’S
REQUEST TO REOPEN
DISCOVERY TO TAKE
PLAINTIFF’S DEPOSITION
Re: Dkt. No. 118

Having reviewed the joint discovery letter and attached exhibits presenting

17

defendant Phillips’ request to reopen discovery in order to take Ellis’ deposition, the Court

18

DENIES the motion for lack of good cause. The record shows that Phillips noticed a

19

deposition of Ellis on February 26, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., then unilaterally canceled the

20

deposition on February 25, 2016, without a good reason. Phillips’ request to now reopen

21

discovery to notice a deposition with Ellis after the close of discovery does not show good

22

cause and is therefore denied.

23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
