Case No. 3:12-cv-03881-VC

 In eight cases, Plaintiffs have requested that the court resolve discovery matters using letter 

briefs rather than traditional procedures found in the Civil Local Rules and Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure.1

 Defendants in seven of the cases object to Plaintiffs’ request, saying it is too long after 

the case management conference and too late in discovery to switch now, preferring to address any 

need for flexibility on a case-by-case basis.2

 Having considered the arguments, the court declines 

to switch to letter briefs. Plaintiffs’ request is DENIED. 

SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 17, 2015
