15

The court is in receipt of the parties’ separate discovery letters dated November 11, 2011,

16

[Docket Nos. 41, 42] and admonishes the parties for failing to follow the court’s October 28, 2011

17

order, as well as its general discovery order, which is still in place [Docket No. 37]. The court also

18

expresses concern that the content and tone of the letters indicate a scorched earth approach to what

19

should be a cooperative and professional discovery practice. The parties continue to be subject to

20

the October 28, 2011 order. The letters are dismissed without prejudice.
