The Court has received plaintiff’s letter concerning defendant Discover’s motion to
23
compel arbitration as to intervening plaintiff Rue21 (Dkt. No. 312). The letter asks for
24
“guidance regarding whether a response to the improper motion is required” and asks the Court
25
to “strike the improper filing.” Plaintiffs’ letter does not conform with Local Rule 7-1(a),
26
among other rules, and will be disregarded. The deadline for responding to the motion to
27
compel remains in effect. Intervening plaintiff Rue 21 shall raise all appropriate arguments in
28

its response. Likewise, Discover shall raise all appropriate counter-arguments in its reply.
