Currently before the Court is Plaintiff Dolores Martinez’s Motion to Vacate

18

Order Striking Motions to Quash Subpoenas under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

19

60(b).1

20

October 15, 2013 Order striking three motions to quash for failure to comply with

21

meet and confer requirements. (ECF No. 23.) Martinez argues that this Court erred in

22

striking the motions because she was exempt from the meet and confer requirements

23

of Local Rule 7-3. Martinez is incorrect. She argues that she was exempt under Local

24

Rule 16-12(g), however this is not an action to enforce or quash an administrative

25

summons or subpoena. Moreover, the Court also directs Martinez’s attention to Local

26

Rule 37-1 which specifically addresses the meet and confer requirements for

27

discovery motions. There are no exemptions under this rule. Therefore, the Court

28

1

(ECF No. 25.)

Martinez’s Motion seeks reconsideration of the Court’s

After carefully considering the papers filed in connection with these Motions, the Court deems these matters
appropriate for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. Civ. P. 78; L.R. 7-15.

1

DENIES Martinez’s Motion to Vacate Order Striking Motions to Quash Subpoenas.

2

The Court also notes that all future motions relating to discovery should be directed to

3

the magistrate judge in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
