v.
HOA NGUYEN FAMILY LLC, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’
AMENDED ADMINISTRATIVE
MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM
GENERAL ORDER 56
Re: Dkt. No. 17

Before the Court is Defendants’ amended administrative motion requesting relief from

13

the requirements of General Order 56 (“GO 56”). Dkt. 17. According to Defendants, they have

14

removed or otherwise remedied each of the barriers to access alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint.

15

They therefore ask to be “relieved from the mediation and other requirements of General Order

16

No. 56” and be allowed “to proceed with a motion to dismiss and/or motion for summary

17

judgment” on Plaintiff’s claims.

18

The Court DENIES Defendants’ request to be relieved of the requirements of GO 56. If

19

the parties agree that the claims for injunctive relief have been resolved, they may stipulate to

20

forego the joint site inspection and move directly to settlement discussions. If Plaintiff does not

21

agree that the claims for injunctive relief have been resolved, Defendants can file a motion for

22

summary judgment and then ask for relief from particular GO 56 requirements. However, in the

23

current posture of this case, the GO 56 requirements remain in place.

SO ORDERED.
