CHARLES M. HALLINAN, et al.,
Defendant(s).

As the parties acknowledge, the local rules required them to file a discovery plan in this

17 case by March 14, 2018. Docket No. 26 at 2. Nonetheless, the parties have filed a status report
18 informing the Court that they did not comply with the local rules and that Defendant instead intends
19 to file a motion to stay discovery by April 30, 2018. Id. The Court begins by reminding the parties
20 that stipulations impacting court proceedings require court approval. See Local Rule 7-1(b). The
21 Court expects strict compliance with that local rule (and all other applicable rules) moving forward.
22 In light of the situation, the Court hereby ORDERS that a motion to stay discovery be filed no
23 later than April 24, 2018, that any response thereto by filed no later than April 26, 2018, and that
24 any reply be filed no later than April 27, 2018. 1

The Court reminds the parties that CM/ECF may automatically generate briefing
deadlines based on the default rules, but that the deadlines set herein will govern regardless of any
28 such automatically-generated deadlines. See, e.g., Local Rule 3-1(d).
