What is the name of your state? California



I have an Employment Discrimination civil lawsuit pending in Federal District Court of Northern CA.

EEOC issued a right-to-sue letter after investigating discrimination that I suffered because of my race and gender. I used this letter to file this legal action.

A second right-to-sue letter was released by EEOC after I reported the escalated retaliation suffered after I filed my complaint with them. I used this second letter to amend that original discrimination case - - merging 2 cases into 1 lawsuit.


PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN WITH THESE QUICK QUESTIONS:


The Discovery Limits were NOT adjusted up from those numbers normally set for a single case (5 depos, 40 interog, 25 document requests, 25 admissions) .


1) What legal arguments, case laws, justification and/or reasons should I use to convince the Judge to increase these limits?


2) Defense attorneys are against this request; and, they are already playing discovery games. How can I use their Discovery Games to get the Judge to extend the Discovery Cut-off deadline, when he increases the Discovery Limits?


Thanks in advance for any guidance that you can provide.
