Case No.16-cv-00945-BLF (SVK)
ORDER RE: JOINT DISCOVERY
LETTER BRIEF

v.
COUNTY OF MONTEREY, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 112

Defendants.
The Court has reviewed the parties’ submissions and remarkably similar proposed orders.

13

The ESI requests that are the subject of dispute were served on or about December 23rd, 2016.

14

The parties have had over two months to address these disputes, during which time the Court has

15

made it clear that there would be no further extensions of the close of discovery. (Dkt. Nos. 83,

16

98.) Therefore, to the extent the parties’ submissions are intended to be a request to formally

17

extend the time for discovery, such request is DENIED.

18

The Court orders the parties to continue their meet and confer efforts to narrow the scope

19

of the ESI requests, particularly in light of the Court’s narrowing of the requests as to other

20

defendants, and to complete the production in a timely manner. The parties may, by mutual

21

agreement, conduct specific depositions after the close of discovery provided there is no adverse

22

impact on the Court-ordered schedule.

SO ORDERED.
