IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IN RE TABLEWARE ANTITRUST

LITIGATION.

 /

No C-04-3514 VRW

ORDER

In a March 31, 2006 letter, plaintiffs notified the court

of a discovery dispute centering around defendants’ “refusal to

provide certain electronic transactional data regarding their sales

of tableware products.” Doc #96. Plaintiffs stated that they had

met and conferred with defendants, in accordance with FRCP

37(a)(1)(A) and Civ L R 37-1, and plaintiffs proposed that the

dispute could be resolved via “letter briefs, not to exceed 3

pages, submitted to the Court by Wednesday, April 5, 2006, which

would be followed by a telephone conference or an appearance before

the Court as soon thereafter as the Court’s schedule permits.” In

a letter dated April 3, 2006, defendants requested that any

exchange of letters be deferred slightly to April 12, 2006, because

some of defendants’ attorneys were attending depositions out of

town. Defendants then filed a letter dated April 11, 2006,

suggesting that the respective letter briefs could be submitted on

April 14, 2006. Doc #97.
