ORDER
/

15

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration by this court of part of the magistrate

16
17

judge’s order filed September 10, 2013 (ECF No. 4791) that denied plaintiffs’ motion for

18

production of records for non-class members without waivers. (ECF No. 4809.) The magistrate

19

judge found that plaintiffs had not shown that the six individuals whose records are at issue are

20

presently members of the plaintiff class. In their motion for reconsideration, plaintiffs have

21

presented more substantial argument in support of their motion to compel production of these

22

records.1 The court will be aided by the magistrate judge’s further review of the arguments
