RE:

Reza Hazeli v. Mehriran Publishing Co., et al.
Civil Action No. CBD-15-1690

DATE:

March 17, 2016
* * * * * * * * *

This matter has been referred to me for all further proceedings. Outlined below is my
policy which must be followed prior to filing any motion related to a discovery dispute.
No discovery-related motion may be filed unless the moving party has attempted in good
faith, but without success, to resolve the dispute and has requested a pre-motion
conference with the Court to discuss the dispute informally. The procedure for requesting a premotion conference is as follows:
1.

Party shall notify opposing party of their intent to contact my chambers to request
a telephone conference at least 24 hours in advance of any request.

2.

The party requesting such a conference shall check the availability of all parties
and contact my chambers with available dates and times.

3.

After a telephone conference has been scheduled, it will be the responsibility of
the party requesting the conference to initiate the call unless dial-in procedures
have been provided by chambers.

4.

Each party shall submit brief letters outlining their respective positions no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the telephone conference. The letters should
not be more than 2 pages. Letters shall be emailed to
[e-mail].

5.

No official record of the conference will be made or permitted.

If the Court does not grant the request for a conference, or if the conference fails
to resolve the dispute, then upon approval of the Court, a motion may be filed.
