After conferring with 18 counsel and reviewing the parties’ joint status report, the Court sets the following case schedule: 19 1. Merits discovery related to non-experts SHALL be completed no later than February 20 16, 2015. The provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e) regarding a party’s duty to timely supplement 21 disclosures and responses to discovery requests will be strictly enforced; 22 2. 23 19, 2014; 24 3.

At that time, the Court 28 1 1 will determine the deadline for the filing of the opposition to the motion and Defendant’s cross-motion 2 for summary adjudication. 4. 3 The dates set herein are intended to be firm and the Court expects compliance with the 4 deadlines absent good cause. However, the Court anticipates that a stay will likely be needed to allow 5 the determination of the cross motions for summary adjudication.1 Moreover, given that there are 6 many unknowns at this point, if a deadline cannot be met despite due diligence, counsel SHALL meet 7 and confer to attempt to come to agreement as to any discovery or scheduling issue and, as necessary, 8 involve the Court in informal telephonic conferences. All counsel are expected to take whatever steps 9 are necessary to move the case forward as expeditiously as possible. Failure to comply with this order may result in the imposition of sanctions. 10 11 12 IT IS SO ORDERED. 13 Dated: April 17, 2014 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 In the event of a stay, counsel are reminded that the Court will expect that whatever time is remaining for merits discovery will be “tolled” and, once the stay is lifted, only that time remaining for the merits discovery will be allowed. Thus, any needed non-expert discovery that can be taken before the determination of the motions for summary adjudication should be taken before the determination of the motions for summary adjudication. 2
