Defendants.

The deadline to file a joint case management statement was November 25, 2024. (Dkt. No.

14

35.) Defendants’ counsel declares that he attempted to meet and confer with Plaintiff’s counsel

15

but did not receive a response. (Dkt. No. 46.) The Court notes that Defendants’ counsel contacted

16

Plaintiff’s counsel on the date of the deadline and only gave Plaintiff’s counsel approximately four

17

hours to respond, (id.) which is not a model of preparation. That being said, Plaintiff failed to

18

submit any case management statement and was independently obliged to meet and confer with

19

Defendants. Plaintiff’s conduct violates this Court’s local rules. See Civ. L. R. 16-9(a).
