Judge James' chambers, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. At this session,

the parties shall come prepared to meaningfully discuss any outstanding discovery issues. Specifically, the

parties shall discuss how best to narrow the scope of Plaintiffs' discovery requests. If unable to resolve

their disputes, the parties shall then prepare a letter in accordance with Judge James' Discovery Standing
