Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Civil Local Rule 16-2, an initial case
16
management conference in this action is advanced to July 23, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. in Courtroom 9,
17
19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. Each party shall appear
18
personally or by counsel having authority to enter into stipulations and make admissions pursuant
19

based upon good cause.
Counsel shall meet and confer as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) prior to
the conference with respect to those subjects set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
the standing orders of this Court. The parties shall file a joint case management statement no later
than July 9, 2014. The statement shall address the topics contained in the Standing Order for All
Judges of the Northern District of California: Contents of Joint Case Management Statement and
otherwise comply with the standing orders of this Court, which are all available at
cand.uscourts.gov/jstorders.
1
One of the reasons the Court has advanced the Case Management Conference is that this
2
case would benefit from early mediation. Therefore, in addition to the topics required by Local
3
Rule 16-9 and the Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California – Contents
4
of Joint Case Management Statement, the parties are ordered to meet and confer about, and make a
5
joint proposal regarding, the formal or informal discovery that must be exchanged immediately
6
among the parties to make mediation productive. If the parties are unable to agree, they must
7
submit competing proposals. In the latter event, the Court will endeavor to choose, in all respects,
8
the single proposal it concludes is most reasonable. Sage Electrochromics, Inc. v. View, Inc., 12-
9
CV-6441-JST, 2014 WL 1379282 at *3 n.3 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 8, 2014). The Court cannot
overemphasize the importance of the parties meeting and conferring in good faith to determine the
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California
10
information that each of them needs to make an informed decision whether to resolve this case
12
informally, on a business basis, or proceed with further litigation.
