Plaintiff,

BAILLIE, et al.,

14

ORDER

Defendants.

15
16

On February 10, 2015, defendants filed a notice of motion “to compel compliance with

17

requirements experts disclosures.” ECF No. 206. That motion was noticed for hearing on March

18

11, 2015. Id. Local Rule 251(a) provides that the Joint Statement Re Discovery Disagreement

19

must be filed at least seven days before the scheduled hearing date. E.D. Cal. L.R. 251(a). Local

20

Rule 251(a) also provides that the hearing on a discovery motion may be dropped from calendar

21

without prejudice if the Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement is not timely filed. Id.

22

Although the deadline has passed, the docket reveals that no Joint Statement re Discovery

23

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

24

motion, ECF No. 206, is denied without prejudice and the March 11, 2015 hearing thereon is

25

vacated.
