IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL VELIZ, et al.,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

CINTAS CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 03-1180 RS (MEJ)

ORDER RE DISCOVERY DISPUTES

The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint discovery letter, filed May 7, 2008. (Doc. 794.) 

There is some confusion as to the date discovery closed in this matter; however, based on the parties'

stipulation, discovery closed no later than January 30, 2008. (See Doc. 727.) Pursuant to Civil

Local Rule 26-2, "no motions to compel discovery may be filed more than 7 court days after the

discovery cut-off." The Court is concerned that the parties have chosen to ignore this rule and

proceed with discovery over three months after the discovery cut-off. Until Magistrate Judge

Seeborg, the presiding judge in this matter, establishes a pretrial and trial schedule, the undersigned

is without authority to consider discovery disputes. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' May 7 request is

DENIED without prejudice pending Judge Seeborg's scheduling order. If Judge Seeborg permits

further discovery, including disputes from previously-propounded discovery, the parties shall inform

the undersigned and reference their May 7 joint letter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 8, 2008
