The above-captioned case was referred to Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James for purposes

14

of discovery. Please be advised that if a specific motion was filed before the district court prior to

15

this referral, the noticed date will no longer be in effect. Rather, the parties shall comply with Judge

16

James’ Standing Order Regarding Discovery and Dispute Procedures, a copy of which may be

17

Counsel are advised that in regard to any pending discovery disputes, they must comply with

20

Judge James’ standing order and meet and confer in person. If the parties are unable to resolve their

21

dispute after the meet and confer session, they shall file a joint meet and confer letter. A separate

22

letter should be filed for each category of discovery and/or issue in dispute. Upon careful review of
