ORDER RE CMCS

AND DISCOVERY

These actions are scheduled on this court’s calendar for July 19, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. for a

motion to consolidate and for Case Management Conferences (“CMC”).1

 The court will also treat

this as a Rule 26(f) conference and the parties should be prepared to discuss matters accordingly. 

Activity around discovery has been occurring in the C-10-2351 action, which was received in this

district on May 28, 2010 on an order transferring the action from the Central District.

The parties are instructed to refrain from conducting discovery (other than initial

disclosures), making discovery requests, and filing motions regarding discovery (for which this

court uses more efficient tools). At the CMC the court will take up with the parties in both actions

pretrial plans for the cases including discovery plans, i.e., Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16 and

26 plans, and the setting of dates to accomplish necessary discovery. Initial disclosures, if not

accomplished already, should proceed; all other discovery is in abeyance until resolved at the CMC. 

The date of July 26, 2010, for which a motion related to discovery is noticed, is vacated and

the matter will be taken up at the CMC on July 19 in connection with discovery plans, and not as a

motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
