Case No. 5:15-cv-05616-LHK (HRL) INTERIM ORDER RE DISCOVERY REPORT NO. 1 Re: Dkt. No. 44 STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant. 18 19 Non-party Kevin Cholakian filed a unilateral discovery report concerning subpoenas 20 served by plaintiffs for his deposition and documents. The report states that plaintiffs would be 21 filing their portion of the report on July 20. They have not. Additionally, copies of the subject 22 subpoenas apparently were to be appended to the report. They are not. 23 This court’s Standing Order re Civil Discovery Disputes requires the submission of joint 24 discovery reports and provides that “[u]njustified delay or refusal to participate meaningfully in 25 the preparation of the Joint Report is grounds for imposition of sanctions or entry of an order 26 sought by the other side.” On this record, however, this court cannot tell for certain whether there 27 has been unjustified delay or refusal to participate meaningfully on plaintiffs’ part. Accordingly, 28 the court will consider what they have to say in response to Cholakian’s report. No later than 1 August 9, 2016, plaintiffs shall submit their portion of the report (being mindful of the page limit 2 set by the Standing Order and the length of Cholakian’s portion of the report). Plaintiffs shall 3 append to their portion of the report the subpoenas that are at issue. 4 SO ORDERED. 5 Dated: August 5, 2016 6 7 HOWARD R.
