JUDGE ILLSTON=S STANDING ORDER
1. Scheduling Days:
Civil Law and Motion Calendar is conducted on Fridays at 9:00 a.m.
Criminal Law and Motion Calendar is conducted on Fridays at 11:00 a.m.
Civil Case Management Conferences are generally conducted on Fridays at 2:30
p.m. with the order of call determined by the Court.
Pretrial Conferences are generally conducted on Tuesday afternoons at 3:30 p.m.
Counsel need not reserve motion hearing dates, but may call the clerk to obtain the
next available law and motion calendar. Motions may be reset as the Court=s
calendar requires.
All parties are directed to comply with the Civil Local Rules except as identified in
this Order.
2. Discovery Disputes:
The parties shall meet and confer in person, or, if counsel are located outside the
Bay Area, by telephone, to attempt to resolve their dispute informally. A mere
exchange of letters, e-mails, telephone calls, or facsimile transmissions does not
satisfy the requirement to meet and confer.
If, after a good faith effort, the parties have not resolved their dispute, they shall
prepare a concise joint statement of 5 pages or less, stating the nature and status of
their dispute. Absent an order of this Court, parties shall not file affidavits or exhibits,
other than copies of the written requests for discovery and the answers or objections
thereto.
If a joint statement is not possible, each side may submit a brief individual statement
of 2 pages or less. The joint statement or individual statements shall be filed or
e-filed, if in an e-filing case, and courtesy copies submitted as provided by the Civil
Local Rules.
The Court will advise the parties regarding the need, if any, for more formal briefing
or a hearing, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b).

3. Sealed Documents (Civil L.R. 79-5; G.O. 62):
This Court does not require the filing of Administrative Motions to seal (Civil L.R.
7-11). The Court will accept stipulations (Civ. L.R. 7-12) or an ex-parte application

(Civ. L.R. 7-10) with proposed orders in lieu of the administrative motion. In the
event an agreement and stipulation for leave to file under seal is not possible, an
ex-parte application shall be filed instead. Oppositions to ex-parte applications and
proposed order must be submitted to the Court immediately.

copies must bear the ECF stamp (case number, document number, date and page
number) on the top of each page.

5. Summary Judgment Motions:
Parties are limited to filing one motion for summary judgment. Any party wishing to
exceed this limit must request leave of Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED
