3.

The Standing Order substantially modifies the normal practice under existing law and

5

rules for resolving discovery disputes. As relevant here, the Standing Order requires the parties to

file a “Stipulation Regarding Discovery Dispute” as a condition precedent to any motion to compel

7

(if necessary). Standing Order § II.B.

On August 27, 2024, the day before the Padda Defendants’ response to the Motion to

Motion to Compel, without prejudice, in order to follow the process outlined in the Standing Order.

arguments of any kind, including those raised in the Motion to Compel.
7.

The Stipulation Regarding Discovery Disputes, as outlined in the Standing Order,

will be filed no later than September 5, 2024.
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
