UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Vietnam Veterans of America, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

Central Intelligence Agency, et al.,

Defendants.

No. C 09-0037 CW (JL)

ORDER

All discovery in this case has been referred by the district court (Hon. Claudia 

Wilken) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Civil Local Rule 72-1. This Court reviewed the

parties’ Joint Statements regarding their discovery disputes over a protective order and

Plaintiffs’ requests for production and 30(b)(6) document collection depositions and hereby

orders the parties to engage in formal briefing pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-2 to 7-5.

The parties had filed individual statements regarding a series of discovery disputes 

before the hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Responses to Interrogatories on June

30, 2010, at which this Court directed the parties to meet and confer in person. This Court

later granted that Motion by order dated July 13, 2010, again ordering the parties to meet

and confer regarding their other disputes and to file joint statements as to any that

remained unresolved.

C 09-0037 ORDER Page 2 of 2

Pursuant to this Court’s order, the parties met and conferred for over two hours

immediately following the hearing on June 30, 2010. However, Plaintiffs state that no

substantive progress has been made. The parties have not only not resolved their previous

discovery disputes but now have additional disputes.

This Court finds that the standard meet and confer procedure outlined in the

Standing Order is not working in this case. Instead this Court orders the parties to engage

in formal briefing pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-2 to 7-5.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: August 6, 2010
