WILLIAM ROUSER, Plaintiff, v. JULIA GAMBOA, et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT J. BROWN'S EX PARTE APPLICATION TO TAKE A SECOND DEPOSITION OF PLAINTIFF WILLIAM ROUSER (C10659)
DENNIS M. COTA UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
The Court received Defendant J. Brown's Application to Take a Second Deposition of William Rouser (C10659), an Incarcerated Person. In the application, Defendant Brown seeks leave to take a second deposition because, at the time Plaintiff's first deposition was taken, Defendant Brown had not been served or appeared in the action. Defendant Brown has now appeared by way of his answer to Plaintiff's complaint. For good cause shown, the application is GRANTED. Defendant Brown may depose William Rouser (C10659) in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the institution's rules and regulations, including the presence of correctional officers during the deposition, and may take the deposition by remote means with the court reporter in a different location from the deponent.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
