Defendants.
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s request for a subpoena directed to the King County

14 governing the production of documents.

16 over production of the information requested. If it becomes necessary to file a motion to compel
17 production of the information requested, plaintiff is referred to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 and LCR
18 37(a)(1), which require that the parties first meet and confer with each other in an effort to
