v.
UNIMERICA LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY,

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO
FILE RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT’S
REQUEST FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER

Defendant.
This court has received a July 12, 2017 request from defendant for a protective order
concerning several examination topics plaintiff noticed for defendant’s July 19, 2017 Fed. R. Civ.
P. 30(b)(6) deposition. By noon on July 14, 2017, plaintiff shall file a response (no more than 6

20

pages) to defendant’s request. Plaintiff’s response shall also include an explanation why

21

plaintiff’s counsel reportedly refused to meet-and-confer about the subject topics (apparently

22

leading to the filing of defendant’s unilateral request, rather than a joint discovery report as

23

required by the undersigned’s Standing Order re Civil Discovery Disputes). This court will

endeavor to resolve this dispute prior to the July 19 deposition. Nevertheless, pending resolution
of this discovery matter, defendant’s deposition is stayed, but only as to the disputed examination

topics.
