1
Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-11, Defendant Peora files this motion for administrative relief
2
from the deadline for the parties to complete a Court-ordered meet and confer. In response to
3
Defendant’s joint letter seeking to compel Plaintiff to supplement interrogatory responses, the
4
Court issued an order requiring “the parties to meet and confer in person on October 15, 2014
5
at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco,
6
California.” Doc. 91 (attached as Ex. A).
7
The parties have agreed to meet in confer in person to try to resolve their dispute on
8
Tuesday, October 14, 2014, and Defendant’s counsel is hopeful that the dispute will be
9
resolved. Defendant’s counsel, however, must attend to a personal matter on October 15, 2014
10
that would conflict with a 10:00 am in-person meet and confer at the courthouse on October 15,
11
2014.
12
Accordingly, Defendant’s counsel respectfully requests that the in person meet and
13
confer pursuant to Doc. 91 be vacated and reset to 10:00 am on October 22, 2014, with the
14
parties to otherwise comply with all of the terms of Doc. 91.
15
Defendant’s counsel contacted Plaintiff’s counsel regarding this request and Plaintiff’s
16
counsel does not oppose it.

Plaintiff,

DISCOVERY ORDER
v.
Re: Dkt. No. 90

ULTIMATE METALS CO., et al.,
Defendants.
8
The Court is in receipt of the parties’ most recent discovery dispute letter, filed September
10
25, 2014, regarding Defendant Peora’s request for Plaintiff Trent West to supplement responses to
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California
9
its Interrogatory Nos. 3-5. Dkt. No. 90. Upon review of the parties’ positions, the Court finds that
12
they have not complied with the spirit of the in-person meet and confer requirement, as it is clear
13
that the scope of the interrogatories can be narrowed or clarified so that West is able to provide
14
more meaningful responses. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the parties to meet and confer in
15
person on October 15, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue,
16
San Francisco, California. The parties shall come prepared to meaningfully discuss the
17
interrogatories, distill the issues, and frame their positions in a manner that permits a resolution of
18
the dispute. If still unable to resolve the dispute, the parties shall draft a revised joint letter at the
19
session in compliance with paragraph 2 of the undersigned’s Discovery Standing Order. The
20
parties shall bring any necessary equipment to draft the letter and present it to the Deputy Clerk
21
for electronic filing.
22
23
24
If the parties meet and confer in person and resolve their prior to October 15, they shall
jointly request that the Court vacate the meet and confer session.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
