Motions to compel may be noticed without reserving a hearing date, subject to the Court's

availability. 

Discovery motions may be addressed to the Court in three ways.

1. A motion may be noticed on not less than 35 days notice pursuant to Civil L. R. 7-2.

2. Alternatively, any party may seek an order shortening time under Civil L. R. 6-3 if

the circumstances justify that relief. 

3. In emergencies during discovery events, the Court is available pursuant to Civil L. R.

37-1(b). 

In the event a discovery dispute arises, lead trial counsel for the party seeking discovery shall

in good faith confer in person with lead trial counsel for the party failing to make the discovery in

an effort to resolve the dispute without court action, as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 and Civil L. R.

37-1(a). The meeting must be in person, except where good cause is shown why a telephone

meeting is adequate. A joint letter setting forth these meet-and-confer efforts, each unresolved issue,

and the final positions of each party shall be included in the moving papers. 

The Court will not consider discovery motions unless the moving party has complied with

Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 and Civil L. R. 37-1(a).

A party or counsel has a continuing duty to supplement the initial disclosure when required

under Federal R. Civ. P. 26(e)(1).

Law and motion matters may be submitted without argument upon stipulation of the parties

and notification of the Court no later than 4:30 p.m. the day before the hearing. Pursuant to Civil

L. R. 7-7(e), filed motions may be withdrawn without leave of the Court, within seven (7) days of

the date for service of the opposition. Thereafter, leave of the Court must be sought.

ELECTRONIC FILING AND COURTESY COPIES

Please refer to Civil L. R. 5-4 and General Order No. 45 for the Northern District of

California for information relating to electronic filing procedures and requirements. All documents

shall be filed in compliance with the Civil Local Rules. Documents not filed in compliance with

those rules will not be considered by the Court.
