No. C-11-05719-YGR (DMR)

Defendants have filed an ex parte discovery letter. [Docket No. 304.] This court’s discovery

18

procedures require the parties to meet and confer “in person or by telephone” prior to filing a

19

discovery letter, and to file a joint letter if they are unable to resolve their discovery disputes without

20

court intervention. See Docket No. 227 (emphasis in original). Defendants have failed to meet this

21

requirement. Accordingly, the ex parte discovery letter is denied without prejudice. The parties

22

are ordered to meet and confer in accordance with the court’s discovery procedures; if they remain

23

unable to resolve their disputes without court intervention, they must file a joint discovery letter by

24

October 20, 2014.
