ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE

SANCTIONS

The Court, having received Plaintiff’s motion for discovery, HEREBY ORDERS that

the parties to the dispute follow the undersigned’s procedures for resolving discovery disputes. 

See Standing Order ¶ 7. The Court has already specifically admonished counsel during its

hearing on Defendant’s discovery dispute on November 22, 2005, that all discovery disputes

must be filed pursuant to this Court’s Standing Orders.

All requests for discovery relief must be summarized jointly by the parties in a letter

brief not to exceed four pages. The joint letter must attest that, prior to filing the request for

relief, counsel met and conferred in person and must concisely summarize those remaining

issues that counsel were unable to resolve. The joint letter brief may not be accompanied by

declarations; however any specific excerpt of disputed discovery material may be attached. 

After receiving the letter, the Court will advise the parties if additional briefing or a hearing will

be necessary.
