Defendants.

13

Defendants have filed a request for leave to file a motion for sanctions. Dkt. 111.

14

Before any motion may be filed, the parties must first meet and confer in a good faith effort

15

to resolve their dispute. The Court’s Standing Orders as well as the Court’s Order for

16

Pretrial Preparation specify that the parties must meet and confer prior to filing any motion,

17

and the movant must certify in its moving papers that it has complied with this requirement.

18

E.g., Order for Pretrial Preparation at 1, Dkt. 71. Defendants’ motion for leave fails to

19

comply with the Court’s meet and confer requirement. Accordingly,

20

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Defendants’ motion for leave to file a motion for

21

sanctions is DENIED without prejudice. The parties are warned that future transgressions

22

of the Orders of this Court may result in the imposition of sanctions against the parties

23

and/or their counsel. This Order terminates Docket 111.
