Before the court is plaintiffs’ motion to shorten time for briefing and hearing of their

13

motion to expedite discovery, noticed for hearing in accordance with Local Rule 7-2 on

14

September 12, 2012. Plaintiffs seek to have the motion heard on August 22, 2012. The

15

court finds that in the absence of a clear showing of any “substantial harm or prejudice” that

16

would occur if the court does not change the time, an expedited hearing with its

17

concomitant abbreviated period for the defendants’ opposition to be filed and for the court

18

to prepare for the hearing, is simply not warranted. The motion is DENIED.
