14

A large-scale criminal trial before the undersigned judge is underway and is expected to

15

conclude during the late summer or early fall. Because this trial consumes an unusual amount of

16

time and resources, motions in civil cases will be considered and heard only on a selective basis.

17

Except for discovery disputes, no motions may be filed in this action without prior written

18

approval. A party seeking approval to file a motion must file a précis that summarizes the

19

essence of the motion and explains its urgency. Any party opposing approval to file based on the

20

précis may file an opposition by noon on the second business day following the day on which the

21

précis was filed. Both the précis and the opposition must be three double-spaced pages or shorter

22

and may not contain footnotes or attachments. After considering the précis and the opposition (if

23

any), the Court will either grant or deny leave to file the motion. If leave is granted, a briefing

24

schedule and hearing date will be set.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
