This matter is before the court on Plaintiff/Counterdefendant Shift4 Corporation’s (“Shift4")
14
Emergency Motion for a Protective Order (Dkt. #81) filed February 6, 2013. The court has briefly
15
reviewed the Motion; Defendant/Counterplaintiff Craig Martin’s (“Martin”) Opposition (Dkt. #82) filed
16
February 8, 2013; and Shift4's Reply (Dkt. #83) filed February 11, 2013.
17
Shift4's Motion seeks entry of a protective order pursuant to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of
18
Civil Procedure and Local Rule of Civil Practice 26-7. On February 4, 2013, Martin served Shift4 with
19
a notice of deposition pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6), noticing Shift4's corporate designee’s deposition for
20
February 12, 2013.1 The deposition was previously noticed for February 6, 2013. Martin contends
21
Shift4 served it with a voluminous production of documents on February 1, 2013, and as a result, it
22
needed additional time to review the documents in advance of the deposition of Shift4's corporate
23
designee. Shift4 contends its corporate designee is unavailable on February 12, 2013. Discovery in this
24
matter closes on February 13, 2013.
