IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH MILLER,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES, et

al,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 02-2118 MJJ (MEJ)

ORDER RE: PARTIES' JOINT

STIPULATION RE-NOTICING ALL

PENDING DISCOVERY MOTIONS

The Court is in receipt of the parties' Joint Stipulation Re-Noticing All Pending Discovery

Motions. In their stipulation, the parties re-notice all pending discovery motions to be heard on

April 13, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. These motions (with the original date noticed for hearing in

parentheses) are:

Miller's motion to modify the Court's February 6, 2006 Order (April 6, 2006);

IBM's motion to preclude Miller from calling witnesses and other relief (April 6, 2006);

Miller's motion to compel further discovery from IBM (April 13, 2006);

IBM's motion compel re Altheimer & Gray documents and other relief (April 20, 2006); and

IBM's renewed motion for sanctions (April 20, 2006).

While the Court appreciates the effort of the parties to conserve both their and the Court's

resources, the stipulation does not seek leave to disregard the requirements of Civil Local Rule 7. 

Under Rule 7-3, any opposition to a motion must be served and filed not less than 21 days before the

hearing date, and any reply must be served and filed not less than 14 days before the hearing date.

Given that two motions are currently noticed for April 20, the parties stipulation does not comply

with Rule 7 as to the two April 20 motions. Accordingly, all motions currently noticed for April 6

and April 13 shall be heard on April 13. As to the two April 20 motions, they shall remain on

calendar for April 20. However, to honor the intention of the parties, they may file a joint

stipulation re-noticing all motions to April 20 or a later date. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
