  ASHLEY’S MOTIONs TO QUASH

  PLAINTIFF YASAM LEGACY’S THIRD

  PARTY DEPOSITION SUBPOENAS TO

  SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS

  COMPANY AND LOS ANGELES

  DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER

 

 

 

 

Defendants Gayle Hooks, Christopher Hooks and Kama Ashely have filed two motions to quash Plaintiff Yasam Legacy’s deposition subpoenas for production of business records to Southern California Gas Company and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

This Department’s rules require the parties to first meet and confer to attempt to informally resolve all discovery issues.  Defendants’ motions are not accompanied by a declaration setting forth the parties’ attempts to meet and confer on the issues raised in the motions to quash. 

Additionally, if the parties cannot agree, they are to schedule an Informal Discovery Conference with the Court.  No IDC was scheduled.

Accordingly, the Court denies Defendants’ motions to quash without prejudice to a renewal of the motions once Defendants have complied with this Department’s rules. 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
