SCOTT EMERSON FELIX, et al.,

Case No. 14-cv-03809-HSG (KAW)

Plaintiffs,
8

ORDER TERMINATING MOTION TO
COMPEL

v.

KARIN L ANDERSON,

Re: Dkt. No. 86

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
12

On March 9, 2016, the district court referred the pending motion to compel to the

13

undersigned. The undersigned does not, however, entertain motions to compel, and instead

14

requires parties to file joint discovery letters to address pending discovery disputes. (Judge

15

Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶¶ 12-13, http://cand.uscourts.gov/kaworders.)

16

Notwithstanding, assuming that Defendant’s representations are accurate, it appears that

17

Plaintiffs have not fulfilled their discovery obligations, and would be required to fully respond to

18

Special Interrogatory No. 1 and Request for Production No. 3, and either produce Patricia Shuey

19

for deposition or stipulate that she is unable to provide competent testimony.

20

Accordingly, the motion to compel is TERMINATED, and the parties are ordered to meet

21

and confer in an attempt to resolve the pending disputes without court intervention. If those

22

efforts fail to fully resolve all issues of contention, the parties shall jointly write and file a letter or

23

letters outlining any remaining disputes consistent with the Court’s Standing Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
