UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREN MOE HUMPHRIES,

Plaintiff,

v.

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF

CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 04-3808 SI

ORDER TO MEET AND CONFER RE:

DISCOVERY DISPUTE 

By letter-brief filed September 1, 2005, plaintiff seeks to compel further answers at deposition and

documents from witness Teresa Kuehn. Ms. Kuehn’s original deposition session occurred on August 25,

2005. Defendants oppose the request.

It is clear both fromthe timing ofthe letter briefs and from their text that the parties have not met to try

to resolve the current dispute. Such an effort is required before the Court will involve itself in resolution of any

discovery dispute, particularly one which, like the current one, could obviously be narrowed by good faith

discussion and implementation of appropriate protective orders.

The parties are ORDERED to meet and confer, in person, to discuss the dispute and to make a

genuine effort to resolve it. Should they be unable to do so, they are ORDERED to submit a joint report

summarizing their conference, outlining their agreements and identifying their remaining differences. Only

at that point will the Court address any remaining disagreements.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
