1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 7 TERRILL JOHNSON, Case No. 16-cv-01454-WHO Plaintiff, 8 v. ORDER CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 9 Q.E.D. ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS INC., 11 United States District Court Northern District of California 10 Defendant. 12 13 14 Re: Dkt. No. 24 The Case Management Conference set for May 11, 2016 is continued to the earlier of the hearing on any motion to dismiss the anticipated amended complaint or August 9, 2016. For the guidance of the parties, I do not bifurcate discovery between class and merits 15 issues, but discovery must be proportional. Given the failure of plaintiff to meet his minimum 16 pleading standard, prior to the next Case Management Conference discovery is limited to any 17 matters directly relevant to the plaintiff (his employment and termination, the terms and conditions 18 of his employment, and defenses to his individual claims), as opposed to the class, and relevant 19 written wage and hour policies of the defendant. Defendant should also serve objections to the 20 rest of the propounded discovery as appropriate on the assumption that the amended complaint is 21 allowed to proceed. The parties should meet and confer over the objections prior to the Case 22 Management Conference so that the case management schedule is not delayed. The parties need 23 not file a new Joint Case Management Statement a week before the CMC unless they wish to 24 update me on developments since May 4, 2016. 25 26 27 28 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: May 10, 2016 ______________________________________ WILLIAM H. ORRICK United States District Judge
