Opinion

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DONALD M. WANLAND, JR., Defendant. No. 2:13-cv-2343-KJM-KJN PS United States District Court, E.D. California. October 2, 2015

          ORDER

          KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

         On September 24, 2015, the court granted in part defendant's motion for a protective order and directed that defendant, who is incarcerated, be permitted to appear by telephone at the United States' deposition of defendant's former accountant. (ECF No. 46.) On September 30, 2015, defendant filed objections to that order, contending that he should have been allowed to be present in person at that deposition. (ECF No. 47.)

         Because defendant's objections are without merit, they are OVERRULED. Additionally, the court notes that the September 30, 2015 discovery completion deadline has now passed. (ECF No. 34.) No further discovery motions will be entertained in this case. Defendant is strongly encouraged to instead focus his efforts on preparing the case for trial.

         IT IS SO ORDERED.
