The court is in receipt of Defendant’s ex parte discovery letter (Docket No. 129), which,

18

along with all discovery matters, has been referred to this court by the district judge. See Docket

19

Nos. 110, 136. It appears from the letter that the parties have not completed meeting and conferring

20

about the disputes at issue. See, e.g., Letter at 5 (Mentor proposing compromises). Accordingly, the

21

letter is denied without prejudice and the parties are ordered to further meet and confer. If the

22

parties are unable to resolve their disputes, the parties shall file a joint discovery letter by March 10,

23

2014.
