The parties are reminded that a failure voluntarily to disclose information pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a) or to supplement disclosures or discovery responses

27

pursuant to Rule 26(e) may result in exclusionary sanctions. Thirty days prior to the close of non-

PROCEDURE FOR AMENDING THIS ORDER

6
No provision of this order may be changed except by written order of this court upon its
7
own motion or upon motion of one or more parties made pursuant to Civil. L. R. 7-1 or 7-1-(b)
8
without a showing of very good cause. If the modification sought is an extension of a deadline
9
contained herein, the motion must be brought before expiration of that deadline. The parties may
10
not modify the pretrial schedule by stipulation. A conflict with a court date set after the date of
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

this order does not constitute good cause. The parties are advised that if they stipulate to a change
12
in the discovery schedule, they do so at their own risk. The only discovery schedule that the Court
13
will enforce is the one set in this order. Additionally, briefing schedules that are specifically set
14
by the court may not be altered by stipulation; rather the parties must obtain leave of Court.

16
IT IS SO ORDERED.
