On October 10, 2014, the Court conducted a scheduling conference in this matter.

18 During the scheduling conference, the parties discussed a discovery plan whereby certain
19 procedures would govern discovery in this matter and in the related case of Corey Lamar Smith,
20 et al., v. Arnold Schwarzenegger, et al., Case No. 1:14-cv-00060-LJO-SAB. The parties sought
21 to set procedures to avoid the need to conduct duplicative discovery in both cases. However, the
22 parties were unable to agree to a discovery plan during the scheduling conference. Accordingly,
23 the Court will order the parties to meet and confer to propose a discovery plan in both cases.

Based upon the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

25

On or before November 7, 2014, the parties shall meet and confer regarding a

discovery plan in this case and in the related case of Corey Lamar Smith, et al., v.
