NOTICE OF REFERRAL AND ORDER RE DISCOVERY PROCEDURES


(Related Case)

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

The district court has referred all discovery to United States Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler. ECF No. 145 at 3. The parties have indicated that they have a discovery dispute. Docket No. 4:10-cv-03270-CW, ECF Nos. 157 and 159.

The Court directs the parties to comply with the procedures for addressing discovery disputes set forth in Judge Beeler's standing order (attached). Those procedures require, among other things, that if a meet-and-confer by other means does not resolve the parties' dispute, lead counsel for the parties must meet and confer in person. If that procedure does not resolve the disagreement, the parties must file a joint letter instead of a formal motion. Given the nature of the dispute, the Court modifies its standing order to allow the parties to file a joint letter of no more than 10 single-spaced pages, with legal argument equally divided. The parties also should include copies of all cited legal authorities. After reviewing the joint letter, the Court will evaluate whether further proceedings are necessary, including any further briefing or argument.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

LAUREL BEELER

United States Magistrate Judge
