ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
STATUS CONFERENCE

v.
WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.,
Defendant.

/

Defendant Wells Fargo has filed an administrative motion for a status conference so that the

13
Court may consider its compliance with the Court’s May 17, 2013 Order on Motion to Compel.
14
Although plaintiff does not oppose the request for a status conference, plaintiff evidently does contend
15
that Wells Fargo has failed properly to comply with the Court’s Order.
16
Defendant’s request stems from its effort to comply with two interrogatories. Defendant asserts
17
that it has spent considerable time and effort complying with plaintiff’s request, yet plaintiff believes
18
that defendant’s responses are non-responsive. See Dkt. 47 at 2. In essence, the parties wish to sidestep
19
the Court’s Standing Order on discovery disputes in favor of an impromptu status conference. The
20
Court’s Standing Order outlines a clear procedure, including a letter brief, for how such disputes are
21
handled. Accordingly, defendant’s motion is DENIED and the parties are directed to the Court’s
22
Standing Order for further information on discovery disputes.
23
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
