27

shall submit the dispute to the Court for resolution pursuant to the joint letter procedure described in

the Standing Order by no later than June 23, 2011. Regarding the issue presented in Plaintiff’s

June 9 letter (Docket No. 144), any joint letter regarding this dispute may not exceed five (5) pages.

Regarding the issues presented in Defendants’ June 9 letter and Plaintiff’s June 10 response thereto

3

(Docket Nos. 145 and 146), any joint letter regarding these disputes may not exceed ten (10) pages.
