BRIGHTEDGE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SEARCHMETRICS, GMBH., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-01009-WHO (MEJ)

ORDER FOR PARTIES TO APPEAR 

FOR COURTROOM MEET AND 

CONFER SESSION

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff Brightedge Technologies, Inc.’s Request for Telephonic 

Conference. Dkt. No. 60. Plaintiff requests a telephonic conference for the purpose of seeking to 

compel Defendants Searchmetrics, Inc. and Searchmetrics GMBH to comply with the Court’s 

discovery dispute requirements. Pursuant to the undersigned’s Discovery Standing Order, the 

parties must meet and confer in person in an attempt to resolve any discovery disputes. If unable 

to reach a resolution, they may then file a joint letter. This process requires the parties to distill 

the issues and frame their arguments in a manner that allows the Court to rule on them efficiently. 

Having reviewed the request, the Court ORDERS the parties to meet and confer in person 

on September 24, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San 

Francisco, California. The parties shall come prepared to meaningfully discuss and resolve their 

disputes. If unable, the parties shall draft a joint letter at the session in compliance with paragraph 

2 of the Standing Order. Thus, the parties are ORDERED to bring any necessary equipment to 

draft the letter and present it to the Deputy Clerk for electronic filing. 

If the parties meet and confer in person and resolve their disputes or file a joint letter prior 

to September 24, they shall jointly request that the Court vacate the meet and confer session.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 10, 2014
