_____________________________________/
On September 17, 2012, Plaintiff moved ex parte for an order allowing it to take early and

18

expedited discovery so that it could determine whether it should amend its complaint to include

20

to the undersigned on September 21, 2012. Referral Order, ECF No. 9.
