Plaintiff,

ORDER RE: MOTION FILED AT ECF
NO. 124.

D. WILLIAMS,

Defendant.
_____________________________________/

17

The parties have filed back-and-forth individual letters about discovery disputes (even though

18

the court requires joint letters). Now Plaintiff filed (at 7:27 p.m. on a Friday night) an individual

19

administrative motion to strike part of one of those letters currently pending before the undersigned

20

(even though all discovery matters are referred to the undersigned).

21

Under all of the circumstances (including the referral to the undersigned, everyone’s failure to

22

comply with the procedures, and a hearing set for next Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 11:30 a.m.),

23

the undersigned strongly urges Plaintiff to withdraw its motion to strike. The court sees no upside in

24

forcing a reply in a short time period given the pending hearing, and the parties need to try to work

25

things out here first before bothering the district court. That is the nature of a referral.

26
27

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: February 22, 2013
