No. C 10-5289 WHA (MEJ)

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
13
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
obtained from the Northern District of California's website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/From
18
the homepage, click on the "Judges" tab on the left margin, then choose Magistrate Judge James.
19
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
23
the parties’ letter, the Court will either order further briefing, oral argument, or deem the matter
24
submitted on the papers. Accordingly, any pending discovery motions are hereby DENIED
25
WITHOUT PREJUDICE to the filing of a joint letter.
26

27
confer letters, administrative requests), the parties shall, in addition to filing papers electronically,
