Referral Order, ECF No. 140 at 1.

25

The Court directs the parties to comply with the procedures for addressing discovery disputes set

if a meet-and-confer by other means does not resolve the parties' dispute, lead counsel for the parties

28

must meet and confer in person. If that procedure does not resolve the disagreement, the parties
must file a joint letter instead of a formal motion. After reviewing the joint letter, the Court will
