KABITA CHOUDHURI,

Plaintiff,

v.

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-03608-VC 

ORDER FOLLOWING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Counsel for Wells Fargo has agreed to accept service by email of all papers filed in this 

case up to today. Choudhuri is ordered to email to Wells Fargo's counsel, by today, all papers that 

have been filed in the case. 

A hearing on Choudhuri's motion for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for October 1, 

2015 at 10 a.m. Wells Fargo's opposition to the motion is due September 3, 2017. Any reply by 

Choudhuri must be filed on or before September 17, 2015. The parties agree that the temporary 

restraining order issued by Judge Donato remains in place until a ruling on the motion for a 

preliminary injunction.

If Wells Fargo wishes to file a motion to dismiss, it must do so in time for a hearing to take 

place on the motion on October 1, 2015.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR Local Rule 2-3, the Court refers this 

foreclosure-related action to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Unit for a telephone 

conference to assess this case's suitability for mediation or a settlement conference.

Plaintiff and Defendants' counsel shall participate in a telephone conference, to be 

scheduled by the ADR Unit as soon as possible but no later than September 17, 2015. 

Plaintiff and Defendants' counsel shall be prepared to discuss the following subjects:

whether they have merit.

2. If Plaintiff is seeking a loan modification to resolve all or some of the claims,

modification request. Further, Plaintiff shall immediately notify Defendants' 

counsel of the request for a loan modification.

3. Provide counsel for Defendants with information necessary to evaluate the 

prospects for loan modification, in the form of a financial statement, worksheet 

or application customarily used by financial institutions.

In preparation for the telephone conference, counsel for Defendants shall do the following.

notice of Plaintiff's request, counsel for Defendants shall promptly notify 

Plaintiff to that effect.

2. Arrange for a representative of each Defendant with full settlement authority to 

participate in the telephone conference.

The ADR Unit will notify the parties of the date and time the telephone conference will be held. 

After the telephone conference, the ADR Unit will advise the Court of its recommendation for
