On May 18, 2016, the parties filed a joint discovery letter regarding several disputes that
have arisen. Dkt. No. 42. Procedurally, there are two issues with the letter: (1) the discovery cut-

off in this case was April 26, 2016 (see Dkt. No. 26); and (2) it does not comply with the

12

requirements for submitting a discovery dispute pursuant to the undersigned’s Discovery Standing

13

Order. For these reasons, the requests are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

14

At the same time, although dispositive motions are due in one week, it does not appear the

15

procedural posture of the case is fully developed such that the parties will be prepared to move

16

forward with any anticipated summary judgment motions. Accordingly, the Court VACATES the

17

dispositive motion deadline and ORDERS the parties to appear for a Case Management

18

Conference on June 9, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue,

San Francisco, CA 94102. This conference shall be attended by lead trial counsel for parties who

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no later than seven calendar days before the Case

available at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/mejorders. The Joint Case Management Statement form may
be obtained at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/civilforms. No chambers copy is required.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
