V #N224LJ, Civ. No. 04-363-Pt-lX—JWS, inthe United States District Court
for the District of Arizona. _
Dear Mr. Piklerz- i 1 · -
iviy name is Craig Stokes, and i have been assisting Cynthia Orr on the above
l · styled civil forfeiture matter. We have received your discovery requests and the notice V I
‘ of deposition in this matter. While we are sure that it was not intentional, the discovery ‘
. `· requests are improper under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 26(d) provides:
4 I (d) Tlmlng and Sequence of Discovery.
6 Yiiq it 1 CV 6 Except in categories of proceedings exempted from initial disclosure under Rule
26(a)(1)(E), or when authorized under these rules or by order or agreement of the
parties. a party may not seek discovery from any source before the parties have
conferred as required by Rule 26(f). Unless the court upon motion, for the convenience
} y of parties and witnesses and in the interests of justice, orders otherwise, methods of V `
; . discovery may be used in any sequence, and the fact that a party is conducting
i discovery, whether by deposition or otherwise, does not operate to delay any other » .,
y party's discovery. · »
To date this case is still not at issue and the meeting of the parties required
- under 26(d) has not taken place. Furthermore, this case is not exempt from the ’
_ provisions of 26(d) as it does notfall under the categories listed in 26(a)(‘l)(E). For this
reason, we request that you voluntarily agree to withdraw the discovery requests and the ·
deposition notice in order that we can avoid the filing of a Motion for Protective Order. l
1 look fonivard to hearing from you. _
