order further briefing, oral argument, or deem the matter submitted on the papers. Accordingly, any

pending discovery motions are hereby DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to the filing of a joint

letter.

Further, when filing papers that require the Court to take any action (e.g. motions, meet and

confer letters, administrative requests), the parties shall, in addition to filing papers electronically,

lodge with chambers a printed copy of the papers by the close of the next court day following the

day the papers are filed electronically. These printed copies shall be marked “Chambers Copy” and

shall be submitted to the Clerk’s Office, in an envelope clearly marked with Judge James’ name,

case number and “E-Filing Chambers Copy.” Parties shall not file a paper copy of any document

with the Clerk’s Office that has already been filed electronically. 

Please contact the Courtroom Deputy Clerk, Brenda Tolbert, at (415) 522-4708 with any

questions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
