16

This order responds to the joint letter brief submitted on August 10 concerning

17

Allianz’s responses to Century’s Third Set of Interrogatories and Third and Fourth

18

Requests for Production of Documents. Dkt. No. 180. The Court will address the issues

19

raised in this letter brief at the discovery hearing previously scheduled for August 22.

20

The Court notes, however, that the parties have presented no evidence that they have

21

attempted to work out a compromise on the many issues raised. Neither party has

22

presented a proposed solution. Accordingly, the hearing will begin at 2:00 p.m. with

23

counsel meeting and conferring with each other about the disputed issues. The

24

Magistrate Judge will join the hearing once counsel have exhausted their efforts at

25

problem solving.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
