UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ATLEY HENRY, LAURA HENRY,

Plaintiff,

v.

OCWEN LOAN SERVICING, LLC, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 3:17-cv-688-JM-NLS

ORDER GRANTING IN PART 

JOINT MOTION TO CONTINUE 

DISCOVERY DISPUTE NO. 3

[ECF No. 50]

Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Stipulation to Continue Joint Motion for 

Determination of Discovery Dispute No. 3.

1

 ECF No. 50. The Court previously 

extended the deadline to submit Discovery Dispute No. 3 to May 15, 2018.2 ECF No. 49. 

 

1 The parties began each paragraph in their stipulation with the word “whereas.” “Whereas” is an 

“archetypal legalism [that] used to be every lawyer’s idea of how to begin a contract. No longer. One 

easy way to avoid it ... is to use the subtitle ‘Background’ or ‘Recitals,’ followed by short declarative 

sentences explaining what’s about to be done and why.” Bryan Garner, Ax these terms from your legal 

writing, ABA JOURNAL (Apr. 2014), 

http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/article/ax_these_terms_from_your_legal_writing/. The Court 

notifies the parties that it appreciates when plain language is used, and appreciates when parties avoid 

using unnecessary “legalese” like “whereas” whenever possible. 

2 This is the second time the parties have submitted a request to continue a deadline on the date of the 

deadline. The parties are referred to the Chambers Rules and cautioned that any further requests for

The parties represent they are currently engaged in mediation, and continue to 

review documents produced relative to the Requests for Production that are the subject of

GRANT the request. The parties’ Joint Motion for Determination of Discovery Dispute 

No. 3 must be filed by no later than May 31, 2018. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 16, 2018
