ORDER REGARDING DISCOVERY
DISPUTE

JENNIFER COOK,

Re: Dkt. No. 26

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

On July 19, 2016, counsel for Plaintiff Henry Schein, Inc. filed a discovery letter brief

13
14

pursuant to the undersigned’s Standing Order for All Civil Cases,

15

http://cand.uscourts.gov/filelibrary/1156/Civil-Standing-Order-JST-07.08.15.pdf. The letter

16

describes a dispute Schein is having regarding enforcement of a subpoena directed to third party

17

Patterson Dental Supply, Inc.
Although the letter states Patterson’s position regarding the dispute, such that Patterson has

18
19

submitted itself to the Court’s jurisdiction to decide the dispute, counsel for Patterson has not yet

20

entered an appearance in the action. It is clear from Exhibit B to the letter that Patterson is

21

represented by counsel.
Patterson is ordered to enter an appearance by July 21, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., after which the

22
23

Court will issue a further order regarding the discovery dispute letter. The undersigned may

24

decide the dispute, but may also refer it to a magistrate. For scheduling purposes, the parties

25

should be aware that the Court may also conduct an in-person hearing regarding the dispute on

26

Monday, July 25, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. It is extremely unlikely that the Court will require a noticed

27

motion, as Patterson requests.
