Case No. 1:15-cv-01360-DAD-JDP

J. JONES, et al.

Defendants.

Plaintiff Jared M. Villery is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights

17

action based on 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 28, 2019, I held a telephonic hearing with the

18

parties to discuss discovery issues related to Villery’s outstanding motion to compel, ECF No.

19

57. Based on discussion at the hearing, it appears that many—if not all—of the outstanding

20

discovery issues could be resolved via negotiations between the parties, without the necessity

21

of a court ruling.

22

The parties have until the close of business on October 30, 2019, to meet and confer and

23

to submit a statement of no more than three pages summarizing the status of their efforts to

24

resolve the open discovery issues. If possible, the statement should be prepared jointly.

25

Although I would prefer a joint statement, the parties may submit individual statements if they

26

are unable to draft a joint statement. I will assess the need for another hearing and will

27

consider the motion to compel after October 30.
