IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEANNA PELLETIER,

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-03503 FCD KJN

v.

PACIFIC WEBWORKS, INC.,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff previously noticed a motion to compel discovery responses from

defendant and noticed the hearing on her motion for July 22, 2010. (Dkt. No. 23.) Because

defendant’s attorneys have hearings in other matters that conflict with the scheduled hearing in

this matter, the parties stipulated to the proposed continuance of the hearing on plaintiff’s motion

to compel to August 5, 2010. (Dkt. No. 24.) 

The undersigned cannot approve the stipulation. If the undersigned were to

approve the parties stipulation as proposed, the parties would necessarily violate the Status

(Pretrial Scheduling) Order entered by the United States District Judge assigned to this case,

which provides that “[d]iscovery pre-certification shall be completed by August 2, 2010.” 

(Dkt. No. 18 at 2 (emphases in original).) Because the undersigned lacks the authority to modify

the scheduling order issued by the District Judge, the parties must seek any extension of the preCase 2:09-cv-03503-KJM-KJN Document 25 Filed 07/09/10 Page 1 of 2

rescheduled, the parties are reminded of their obligations under this court’s Local Rules to meet

and confer and prepare and file a “Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement” in advance of the

hearing. See Local Rule 251. The parties Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement, or

scheduled hearing date. Local Rule 251(a).
