22

grounds for such belief.

24

days after the date of such objection in an attempt to resolve their differences. If the parties are

25

unable to resolve their differences, the objecting party shall have twenty one (21) days after the

13

shall, upon written request by a party, provide that party a copy of that document without the

14

designation described in subparagraph 3.2.

15

If an objecting party elects not to make such a motion with respect to documents within

16

twenty one (21) days after the conference, information or other materials to which an objection has

17

been made, the objection shall be deemed withdrawn. The designating party shall have twenty one

18

(21) days to respond to the objecting party’s motion. If no response is filed by the designating party
