Case No. 12-cv-02549-WHA (NJV)
03-27-2013
JOHN DUGAN, et al., Plaintiffs, v. LLOYDS TSB BANK, PLC, Defendant.
ORDER REQUIRING PARTIES TO
MEET AND CONFER
Re: Dkt. No. 126
The undersigned recently granted in part and denied in part the first motion to retain confidentiality designations filed by defendant Lloyds TSB Bank, PLC ("Lloyds"). See Doc. No. 148 (the "March 26, 2013 Order"). Before the court issued the March 26, 2013 Order, Lloyds filed a second motion to retain confidentiality designations. See Doc. No. 126. The undersigned hereby orders the parties to meet and confer regarding the designations at issue in Lloyds' second motion, using the principles and the reasoning set forth in the March 26, 2013 Order to attempt to resolve their discovery dispute without further court involvement.
Plaintiffs' opposition to the second motion is due to be filed by April 1, 2013, and the motion is scheduled to be heard on April 23, 2013. In order to allow the parties to schedule and engage in a meaningful meet and confer process, those dates are continued by two weeks. In the event the parties are unable to resolve their dispute, Plaintiffs shall file their opposition by April 15, 2013, and the motion will be heard on May 7, 2013. The parties may appear telephonically.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
