The Court is in receipt of Defendant's letter regarding outstanding discovery requests and Plaintiff's failure to meet and confer. In its request, Defendant states that Plaintiff has failed to comply with his discovery obligations. Pursuant to Magistrate Judge James' discovery standing order, as to any discovery dispute, the parties must meet and confer in person and, if unable to resolve the dispute, file a joint letter. As it appears that the parties have been unable to meet and confer, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to meet and confer, in person, on December 29, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. in the undersigned's chambers, located on the 15th Floor of the Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102. On the date of the meet and confer, the parties shall use the telephone adjacent to chambers' security entrance to notify the Court of their arrival. At the meet and confer session, the parties should come prepared to meaningfully discuss and resolve their outstanding discovery dispute(s). In the event that the parties are unable to resolve their disputes, they shall draft a joint letter at the meet and confer session in compliance with this Court's standing order, and said letter shall be presented by the parties for filing at the conclusion of the session. Thus, the parties are ORDERED to bring with them one laptop and a USB-compatible auxiliary storage medium, such as a USB port thumb drive, to use in drafting said letter. The parties
