CAPITOL DEL GRANDE 2, INC., et al.,
Re: Dkt. No. 34
Defendants.

Plaintiffs, former employees of Capital Chevrolet, sue for racial discrimination and
19
retaliation. In a prior discovery order, the court addressed plaintiffs’ requests for documents in the
20
personnel files of nine non-parties, each a present or former employee of defendants, for
21
information about “work place conduct.” The court limited the production to race-based conduct,
22
broadly construed.
23
Now, plaintiffs are seeking pretty much the same kind of broad, sweeping information they
24
wanted previously, but this time it is for documentation of any allegations that any employee
25
engaged in “harassment, discrimination, bullying, or any other inappropriate conduct toward a co-
26
worker.”

The court agrees with defendants that the information to be produced should be about racebased conduct, as broadly defined in the previous court order, at the Capitol Chevrolet location
1
only. Production should include copies of civil complaints or arbitration demands about race-
2
based conduct. Copies of settlement agreements need not be produced.
Production shall take place by November 9th in order that depositions may proceed on

The court warns the parties that they cannot assume the court will always be able to put aside its
other, equally pressing matters to give instant attention to their discovery disputes.
