___________________________________/
ORDER GRANTING AS UNOPPOSED DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO DEPOSE PRISONER (DE 50)
Pending is Defendants’ December 1, 2017 motion to depose pro se Plaintiff.
(DE 50.) Permission of the Court to take the deposition is required under Fed. R.
Civ. P. 30(a)(2)(B) because Plaintiff is incarcerated. Plaintiff has not responded to
the motion and the time for doing so under LR 7.1 has expired. The motion
therefore may be granted as unopposed.
Thus, upon the reading and filing of Defendants’ Motion for Leave to
Depose Prisoner pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(a)(2)(B), and
otherwise, being fully advised in the premises; IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that
Defendants’ Motion for Leave to Depose Prisoner (DE 50) is GRANTED AS

UNOPPOSED, and Defendants shall be permitted to take the deposition of the
Plaintiff for all purposes allowed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The
deposition may occur either in person, by telephone, or via video teleconference, at
Defendants’ option and consistent with the requirements and needs of Plaintiff’s
place of incarceration.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: December 26, 2017
