ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' REQUEST FOR DEPOSITIONS OF THREE OPT-IN PLAINTIFFS
Re: Dkt. No. 135
YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGERS, District Judge.
The Court has reviewed the parties' joint discovery letter brief, filed February 28, 2018. (Dkt. No. 135.)1 Based upon the arguments therein and the record in this action, the Court ORDERS that Defendants' request to conduct full-day depositions of opt-in plaintiffs Chafino, Nisewander, and Harris is GRANTED. Plaintiff acted without a legal basis in attempting to impose unilaterally a limit of four hours, contrary to the parameters in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30. (See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(a)(2), (d) (parties are limited to ten depositions, and a deposition is limited to one day of seven hours, unless otherwise ordered or stipulated)).
However, once those depositions are completed, the Court ORDERS that defendants are limited to no more than 56 additional hours of deposition of opt-in plaintiffs (i.e., an additional 8 opt-in plaintiffs for 7 hours each, or an additional 14 opt-in plaintiffs for 4 hours each).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
