ORDER DENYING WITHOUT
PREJUDICE SUPPLEMENTAL
DISCOVERY LETTER BRIEF
Re: Dkt. No. 67
United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
12
The parties filed several joint discovery letters in which they each appeared to take extreme
13
and unjustified positions. [Docket Nos. 56, 61, and 63.] For this reason, the court ordered the
14
parties to engage in further meet and confer sessions to resolve, or at least narrow their disputes.
15
The parties were ordered to file a single supplemental discovery letter brief on remaining disputes
16
by April 10, 2015. [Docket No. 64.] The parties’ supplemental discovery letter brief states that
17
they were unable to reach any agreements. They attempt to revive the disputes by incorporating
18
the arguments from the original joint discovery letter briefs. [Docket No. 67.] This is improper.
19
Joint discovery letters 56, 61, and 63 are no longer pending, and the court will not review them or
20
consider the parties’ arguments in those letters.
21
The court now orders lead counsel for the parties to appear at the discovery hearing
22
scheduled for April 16, 2015. Following the hearing, lead counsel shall meet and confer in the
23
courthouse regarding the outstanding discovery disputes, and shall be prepared to devote the entire
24
day, if necessary, to resolving them. Any remaining disputes shall be presented to the court in the
25
form of a single, standalone joint letter that does not incorporate any previous arguments and does
26
not exceed eight pages. Any such letter shall be filed by no later than April 21, 2015. Any party
27
that takes a position that is not substantially justified will be subject to Rule 37 sanctions.
