the April 23 meet-and-confer and hearing are hereby VACATED. By APRIL 29, the parties shall
20
meet-and-confer in person in this district in a good faith effort to fully resolve their discovery

dispute. The parties shall file a joint status statement by APRIL 30 AT NOON
22

23
they reached, and what issues, if any, remain). The joint status statement shall not exceed
24
five pages.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
