INITIAL DISCOVERY ORDER

All discovery in this matter has been referred to United

States Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman. 

In the event a discovery dispute arises, the parties

shall meet in person or, if counsel are outside the Bay Area,

by telephone and make a good faith effort to resolve their

dispute. Exchanging letters or telephone messages about the

dispute is insufficient. The Court will not read subsequent

positioning letters; parties shall instead make a

contemporaneous record of their meeting using a tape recorder

or a court reporter.

 In the event they cannot resolve their dispute, the

parties must participate in a telephone conference with the

Court before filing any discovery motions or other papers. 

The party seeking discovery shall request a conference in a

letter filed electronically not exceeding two pages (with no

attachments) which briefly explains the nature of the action

and the issues in dispute. Other parties shall reply in

similar fashion within two days of receiving the letter

requesting the conference. The Court will contact the parties

to schedule the conference.

After the conference with the Court, if filing papers is

deemed necessary, they should be filed electronically with the

Clerk’s Office, with one hard copy delivered directly to

Magistrate Judge Zimmerman’s Chambers (Room 15-6688). A

chambers copy of all briefs shall be submitted on a diskette

formatted in WordPerfect or e-mailed to the following address:
