Re: Dkt. No. 30

12
13

The Court has received the letter from defendant's counsel dated April 19, 2013. ECF

14

No. 30. The letter appears not to have been copied to other counsel and not to constitute a joint

15

request. The Court is prohibited from considering an ex parte contact from any party or lawyer in

16

a proceeding. Code of Conduct for United States Judges, Canon 3(A)(4). Accordingly, the Court

17

takes no action with regard to the letter.

18

If the parties are unclear about the obligations imposed by the Court's April 16 minute

19

order, they should meet and confer and, if that process does not eliminate any confusion, either

20

submit a joint stipulation and proposed order, or jointly seek the court's guidance by ex parte

21

application.
