On December 23, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion to compel defendants Stuart Woolf and

19

Los Gatos Tomato Products to respond to plaintiffs’ discovery requests. ECF No. 223. That

20

motion was noticed for hearing on January 14, 2015. Id. Local Rule 251(a) provides that the

21

Joint Statement Re Discovery Disagreement must be filed at least seven days before the

22

scheduled hearing date. E.D. Cal. L.R. 251(a). Local Rule 251(a) also provides that the hearing

23

on a discovery motion may be dropped from calendar without prejudice if the Joint Statement re

24

Discovery Disagreement is not timely filed. Id.
Although the deadline has passed, the docket reveals that no Joint Statement re Discovery

25
26

Disagreement has been filed in connection with plaintiffs’ motion to compel. Therefore, that
