ORDER SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

David W. Christel United States Magistrate Judge

On January 11, 2023, the Court denied-in-part, granted-in-part, and deferred-in-part Plaintiffs' Motion requesting sanctions for spoliation of evidence. The Court found the evidence showed spoliation occurred by Defendant Snohomish County (“the County”) with regard to Volunteer Guardian ad Litem (“VGAL”) Brook's lost and/or destroyed electronically stored information (“ESI”). Dkt. 232. The Court is setting a hearing to determine appropriate sanctions and finds briefing will assist oral argument.

Accordingly, the parties are directed to provide briefing only as to the issue of appropriate sanctions based on the spoliation of VGAL Brook's lost and/or destroyed ESI by the County as follows:

• Plaintiffs shall file an opening brief limited to ten (10) pages on or before January 23, 2023;

• The County shall file a response brief limited to ten (10) pages on or before January 31, 2023.

• All other Defendants may file response briefs limited to five (5) pages on or before January 31, 2023.

• Plaintiffs may file an optional reply brief limited to five (5) pages on or before February 3, 2023.
