On April 15, 2013, the Court set the hearing on the April 5, 2013 discovery letter (Dkt.

13

No. 25) filed by the Government, in which then-pro se Plaintiff Jo Anne M. Chandler did not

14

participate. (Dkt. No. 26.)

15

In light of the recent appointment of pro bono counsel to represent Plaintiff (Dkt. No. 27),

16

the Court orders the parties to meet and confer regarding Plaintiff’s discovery obligations under

17

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. While the May 16, 2013 hearing remains on calendar in the

18

interim, the Court is confident that all disputes can be resolved without court intervention. If the

19

parties are unable to resolve all disputes without court intervention, the parties shall file an

20

updated joint letter by May 10, 2013 setting forth the status of their meet and confer efforts and

21

outlining the issues that remain unresolved. The Court will then determine whether a hearing is

22

necessary.
