DISCOVERY ORDER

v.
MENDOCINO COAST DISTRICT
HOSPITAL, et al.,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Defendants.

13

During telephonic hearings on June 4 and June 6, 2019, Plaintiff’s counsel advised that she

14

will be unavailable in July due to a scheduled medical procedure. See ECF Nos. 136, 140. The

15

Court observes that the deadline to file motions to compel is July 12, 2019. See ECF No. 76

16

(scheduling order setting close of fact discovery at July 5, 2019) & Local Rule 37-3 (“Where the

17

Court has set separate deadlines for fact and expert discovery, no motions to compel fact discovery

18

may be filed more than 7 days after the fact discovery cut-off . . .”). The undersigned’s Discovery

19

Standing Order requires motions to compel to be presented in the form of joint letter briefs, which

20

require the participation of both sides. See ECF No. 63-1. Accordingly, pursuant to the District

21

Judge’s case management order, any letter briefs are due by July 12, 2019. If Plaintiff wants relief

22

from the July 12 deadline, she will need to seek relief from the District Judge.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
