the April 23 meet-and-confer and hearing are hereby VACATED. By APRIL 29, the parties shall

meet-and-confer in person in this district in a good faith effort to fully resolve their discovery

dispute. The parties shall file a joint status statement by APRIL 30 AT NOON 

(appending declarations regarding how long they met-and-conferred, what agreements, if any,

they reached, and what issues, if any, remain). The joint status statement shall not exceed 

five pages.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
