1 The court admonishes plaintiff to follow the guidelines set

forth in Ojai Unified Sch. Dist. v. Jackson, 4 F.3d 1467 (9th Cir.

1993), with regard to admissibility of evidence. Defendant is also

reminded of this court’s broad discretion to admit additional

evidence under Ojai and the governing statute, and thus, the court

will not look kindly upon unnecessary discovery objections.

court ORDERS as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for further discovery is GRANTED. 

Plaintiff, however, is directed to inform defendants of discovery

matters sought, and if defendants object to such requests,

defendants shall bring a motion before the magistrate judge.1

2. Pursuant to the July 25, 2005 Status Conference, a further

Status Conference is scheduled for December 12, 2005 at 2:00 p.m.

The parties are reminded of their obligation to file status reports

prior to the conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
