TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
This case has been referred to Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James for discovery. The

15

parties must comply with Judge James’ Discovery Standing Order, which is attached herewith and

16

available on the Court’s website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/mej.

17

The parties are advised that they must meet and confer in person before any dispute is

18

considered. Thus, any pending discovery motions are hereby DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to

19

the filing of a joint letter. If the parties submitted a letter to the presiding judge instead of a motion,

20

the letter shall not be considered unless the parties attest that they met and conferred in person prior

21

to filing the letter. Accordingly, within three days from issuance of this notice, the parties shall file

22

a joint statement verifying that they met in person prior to filing the letter.
