Case No. 4:16-cv-00939-761-HFS
MEMORANDUM
A discovery dispute has been brought to our attention by way of a joint email to chambers dated
September 22, 2017.
The dispute is whether plaintiffs are entitled to conduct a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of corporate
representatives during the Phase One discovery period and whether the remaining briefing of the motion
to certify should be amended due to these depositions.
The parties agreed to allow plaintiffs to conduct the depositions of Phase One corporate
representatives by written questions pursuant to Rule 31(a)(4). Thus, the only dispute remaining is
whether the briefing schedule should be amended. Defendants argue that the briefing schedule should
be amended because plaintiffs would have the benefit of information from the depositions in their reply
brief that they may not have in their motion in opposition.
The parties should keep the briefing schedule in place. Should defendants find it necessary to
address information provided by plaintiffs in their reply brief, defendants would have the opportunity to file
a motion for leave to file a sur reply to address such information or argument.
