LAUREL BEELER, United States Magistrate Judge.
The district judge referred all discovery matters to the undersigned. Discovery has been stayed pending adjudication of Motion to Dismiss. For discovery purposes, the parties must comply with the undersigned's standing order (attached). The dispute procedures in it 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 counsel are local) and then submit a joint letter brief with information about any unresolved disputes. The letter brief must be filed under the Civil Events category of “Motions and Related Filings > Motions - General > Discovery Letter Brief.” After reviewing the joint letter brief, the court will evaluate whether future proceedings are necessary, including any further briefing or argument.
