California. 

Plaintiff(s) in each case shall serve copies of this Order immediately on all parties to their 

action, and on any parties subsequently joined in their action, in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 

and 5. Following service, Plaintiff(s) shall file with the Clerk of the Court a certificate reflecting 

such service, in accordance with Civil L. R. 5-6(a). 

The parties to each action shall appear in person through lead trial counsel to discuss all 

items referred to in this Order and with authority to enter stipulations, to make admissions and to 

agree to further scheduling dates. 

The parties in each action shall file a joint case management statement for their action no

joint case management statement in all of the related cases, which may have separate subsections 

for case-specific topics. The parties may also file case-specific joint case management statements 

as necessary. The joint case management statements shall address all of the topics set forth in the

shall also address the following additional topics: 

 Whether the schedule previously established for Canaday v. Comcast Corp., 15-cv04648-JSW, may be established for all of the cases, or whether a revised schedule 

is required for the cases to proceed on a coordinated schedule; 

 A plan for coordinated discovery that is compliant with the mandates of the 

December 1, 2015 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; 

 The referral of the related cases to a single magistrate judge for discovery purposes; 

 How motions practice in the related cases may be coordinated to decide common 

legal issues in a non-duplicative manner; 

 A proposal for coordinated alternative dispute resolution in the related cases; 

 Any other way in which these cases may be coordinated; and
