ORDER
v.
CHICO SCRAP METAL, INC., ET AL.,
Defendants.

17
On November 6, 2013, plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance (“CSPA”)
18
filed a motion to quash or modify subpoenas, set for hearing on December 4, 2013. ECF No. 102.
19
Rather than submitting a Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement in accordance with Local
20
Rule 251(c), CSPA filed a memorandum of points and authorities in support of its motion, to
21
which defendants filed an opposition and plaintiff filed a reply. See ECF Nos. 102, 107, 109.
22
Also not in compliance with the Local Rules is the parties’ failure to meet and confer on the
23
matters in dispute, as required by Local Rule 251(b), and there is no suggestion that either party
24
has been unwilling or unable to participate in such a conference, see Local Rule 251(d)-(e).
25
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
26
1. The December 4, 2013 hearing on plaintiff’s motion to quash or modify subpoenas is
27
continued to December 18, 2013.

Rules may result in sanctions, up to and including dismissal of this action.
