ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Proposed Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order

22

Plans requesting special scheduling review shall include, in addition to the
information required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and LR 26-1(e), a statement of the
reasons why longer or different time periods should apply to the case or, in cases in
which the parties disagree as to the form or contents of the discovery plan, a
statement of each party’s position on each point in dispute.

23

The parties having failed to comply with the requirements of LR 26-1. Accordingly,

24

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (#26) is

21

25

denied, without prejudice.

Scheduling Order in compliance with LR 26-1, including any request for special scheduling review,
