ORDER REGARDING DISCOVERY

v.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

Defendants.

17

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

18 of Arthur Duane Jackson, et al., v. State of California, et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-01055-LJO-SAB.
19 During the scheduling conference, the parties discussed a discovery plan whereby certain
20 procedures would govern discovery in this matter and in the related Jackson case. The parties
21 sought to set procedures to avoid the need to conduct duplicative discovery in both cases.
22 However, the parties were unable to agree to a discovery plan during the scheduling conference.
23 Accordingly, the Court will order the parties to meet and confer to propose a discovery plan in
24 both cases.
25

Based upon the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1.

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

27

discovery plan in this case and in the related case of Arthur Duane Jackson, et al.,

28

v. State of California, et al., Case No. 1:13-cv-01055-LJO-SAB.
