Case No. 13-cv-05186-WHO
ORDER REQUIRING ATTENDANCE
OF PARTIES AT HEARING ON JULY 9,
2014
Re: Dkt. No. 68

The litigation of this case is proceeding well outside normal boundaries, particularly for a

13

matter of its magnitude. I have tried to suggest, directly and indirectly, that the resources being

14

expended are disproportionate to (and have probably exceeded) the likely outcome and that the

15

parties are ill-served by the manner in which it is progressing. Yet on it rolls. I do not know

16

whether my perspective has been clearly made known to the parties, so I intend to do so

17

personally.

18

On July 9, 2014, each of the parties to this action shall appear at the Court’s law and

19

motion calendar, which starts at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 2, 17th floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San

20

Francisco, California. When the case is called, the parties should accompany counsel to counsel

21

table. The Court will first address the pending motion for judgment on the pleadings. Second, the

22

Court will address any lingering discovery disputes. In this regard, the parties and their counsel

23

are directed to comply with their obligations under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and urged

24

to act cooperatively to resolve any contested matters. A joint letter specifying any remaining

25

issues (not whether one side thinks the other side is acting badly, but what the actual discovery

26

28

3

problem is) may be filed on July 7, 2014. Third, the Court will address the parties and counsel

4

regarding the way this case is being litigated.
