Counsel may not modify these dates without leave of court. The parties shall comply with
the Court’s standing orders, which are available at cand.uscourts.gov/jstorders.
The Court will set a further Telephonic Case Management Conference on November 30,

26

2018, at 1:30 p.m. (because more than one conference will be set at that time, the conference may

27

not begin precisely at 1:30 p.m.). The purpose of the conference is to ensure that the case is on

28

track. Each participant in the call must use a landline.

1

By November 28, 2018, at noon, the parties must file a joint case management conference

2

statement, which must contain a single telephone number that all parties and the Court can use.

3

For that statement only, the parties should disregard the local rules concerning the content of case

4

management statements. Instead, the statement should be divided into two sections. The first

5

section will address the status of the parties’ discovery. The parties will first list any discovery

6

propounded by the Plaintiffs, the status of that discovery, and any next steps required to complete

7

the discovery or conclude any dispute regarding that discovery. The parties will then provide the

8

same information regarding any discovery propounded by Defendants. The parties’ statement

9

must include completed discovery as well as open discovery, and should list any discovery that
has been discussed between the parties, even if it has not yet been propounded. The second

11

United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

section of the statement will include a discussion of any other issues requiring the Court’s

12

attention or that bear on the progress of the case. At the conclusion of the conference, the Court

13

will set the date and time of the next telephonic conference.

14

The parties must take all necessary steps to conduct discovery, compel discovery, hire

15

counsel, retain experts, and manage their calendars so that they can complete discovery in a timely

16

manner and comply with the deadlines set by the Court. All counsel must arrange their calendars

17

to accommodate these dates, or arrange to substitute or associate in counsel who can.

18

Requests for continuance are disfavored. The Court will not consider any event

19

subsequently scheduled by a party, party-controlled witness, expert, or attorney that conflicts with

20

the above trial date as good cause to grant a continuance. The Court will not consider the

21

pendency of settlement discussions as good cause to grant a continuance.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
