TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

The district court has referred the parties’ joint discovery letter brief, dated and electronically

17

filed on February 14, 2014, and all other discovery matters, to United States Magistrate Judge Laurel

18

Beeler. See 2/14/2014 Letter, ECF No. 32; Order Referring Case, ECF No. 33.

With respect to the parties’ February 14, 2014 letter, the court will review it and determine
whether future proceedings are necessary, including any further briefing or argument.
For all future disputes, the court directs the parties to comply with the procedures for addressing

22

discovery disputes set forth in Judge Beeler's standing order (attached). Those procedures require,

23

among other things, that if a meet-and-confer by other means does not resolve the parties' dispute,

24

lead counsel for the parties must meet and confer in person. If that procedure does not resolve the

25

disagreement, the parties must file a joint letter brief instead of a formal motion. The letter brief

26

must be filed under the Civil Events category of “Motions and Related Filings > Motions – General

27

> Discovery Letter Brief.”
