Seth Hilton and Brian Nese appeared for plaintiff. Bryan Wilson appeared for defendant. Upon review of the motion and the joint statement re discovery disagreement, upon hearing the arguments of counsel and good cause appearing therefor, THE COURT FINDS AS FOLLOWS: Plaintiff has not met its burden in showing that the proposed search of John Haines, Matthew Johnson, Don Kenney, Bill Nelson, and Scott Trumbull would be burdensome or unreasonably costly. It has already conducted the search on five custodians and has agreed in the joint statement to conduct the search on five additional custodians. Accordingly, defendant's motion to compel is granted as to this matter. However, defendant's motion is denied as to its request for an additional deposition of a Rule 30(b)(6) witness. The court finds that defendant is able to obtain the information it seeks from documents already within its possession. 1 ORDER No. 2:09-cv-0580 FCD JFM IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
