DISCOVERY ORDER
Re: Dkt. No. 111
THOMAS S. HIXSON United States Magistrate Judge
The parties are having difficulty scheduling five depositions. The Court ordered the parties to meet and confer and scheduled a further hearing for April 29, 2024 (ECF No. 105), but Defendant was a no-show, so the hearing did not proceed. ECF Nos. 109, 110. The Court then ordered the parties to file status reports concerning the scheduling of the depositions (ECF No. 110), but only Plaintiff filed one. Based on Plaintiff's submission, it looks like Plaintiff is not available on May 20-22, and Defendant stated he is not available after May 28. Plaintiff also states that Alex de Lorraine is not available until May 27. This situation isn't great considering that fact discovery closes on May 29. ECF Nos. 99, 100. To accommodate everyone's stated needs, the Court ORDERS that the following depositions shall take place on the following days:
Witness
Date
Defendant
Thursday, May 23, 2024
Rafael Cosman
Friday, May 24, 2024
Michael Bland
Saturday, May 25, 2024
Alex de Lorraine
Monday, May 27, 2024
Ana Arpilleda
Tuesday, May 28, 2024
The depositions shall start at 9:30 a.m. They shall take place in person at SV Employment Law Firm, 160 Bovet Road in San Mateo, CA. No remote appearances will be permitted; everyone involved with the deposition must be there in person. The party taking the deposition must arrange for a court reporter, as well as a videographer if the deposing party wants a video of the deposition.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
