J. Berg dismisses discrimination claims an assistant superintendent brought after, for example, being told following a speech he gave for Black History Month, "You sound like a black nationalist and these PTA moms aren’t going to want you as their superintendent." The assistant superintendent frequently disagreed with other staff members regarding the district's methods for handling racial incidents involving students and staff, and he had neither faced demotion nor experienced a decrease in pay. Meanwhile, he willingly resigned due to stress.

J. Berg grants GEICO's motion to compel depositions from 13 insureds in a class action brought by non-exempt adjusters who say they were not paid overtime or for all hours worked. The 13 opt-in class members at issue failed to show up for their depositions despite being properly notified. However, GEICO is not entitled to sanctions for the insureds' failure to appear because GEICO unilaterally picked depositions dates despite a prior court order explicitly requiring such depositions to proceed on dates that were "mutually agreeable" for the witness and both sets of counsel.
