Northern District of California

United States District Court

11

Applicants filed an application for discovery in this case on November 29, 2012. On

12

January 8, 2013, pursuant to the Applicants' and Respondents' stipulation, the Court vacated the

13

hearing on Applicants' ex parte application for discovery. The parties stipulated that they would

14

"continue to work together to agree to a new stipulated hearing date and briefing schedule that

15

accords with the Court’s calendar and the parties’ schedules."

16

On March 12, the Court ordered the parties to provide a status update. On March 26,

17

2013, Respondents filed a status update stating that the parties were engaged in discussions to

18

resolve the discovery application, and would inform the Court when a settlement was reached.

19

On August 1, the Court ordered the parties to provide a second status update. The parties

20

complied, and repeated that they were still engaged in settlement discussions.

21

As the undersigned's standing order requires that discovery disputes be presented in a

22

joint letter format, the application for discovery is denied without prejudice to the filing of such a

23

joint letter. Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that by August 29, the parties shall either settle

24

this matter or file such a joint letter.

25

It is so ORDERED.
