ORDER
/

16

Defendants’ motion to compel discovery presently is calendared for hearing on

17

November 1, 2012. The motion also requests a sixty day extension of discovery and motion

18

filing cutoffs. As the requested extension would, for practical purposes, interfere with currently

19

schedule pretrial conference and trial dates, the undersigned has no authority to grant the request,

20

which must be brought before the district judge. The undersigned will, however, keep the

21

motion to compel on calendar unless and until the district court declines to extend the currently

22

scheduled dates.

23

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

24

1. Defendants’ motion to compel discovery responses, filed October 9, 2012,

25

(dkt. no. 149), will remain on this court’s November 1, 2012 calendar pending further order; and
