Defendants.
___________________________________/

On January 17, 2012, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Compel Discovery. On January 19, 2012,

18

this matter was referred to the undersigned for all discovery. On January 20, 2012, the undersigned

19

issued a Notice of Reference and Order Re Discovery Procedures, in which the court denied the

20

Motion to Compel without prejudice and ordered the parties to resubmit the motion in compliance

21

with the court’s Standing Order regarding discovery, which requires the parties to meet and confer

22

about the dispute, and submit a joint letter if any dispute remains. The court ordered that any joint

23

letter be filed no later than February 3, 2012. [Docket No. 79.]

24

Plaintiff apparently never responded to Defendants’ requests to meet and confer, which

25

prompted Defendants to file a motion for sanctions by letter. [Docket No. 81.] Plaintiff has

26

apparently abandoned its Motion to Compel, and should have notified Defendants of the same.

27

Since no joint letter was filed by the deadline, Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel is DENIED with

28

prejudice. Defendants’ motion for sanctions is also DENIED.

Dated: February 7, 2012
