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. 

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

that relief. 

2. In emergencies during discovery events, the Court is available pursuant to Civil L. R. 37-

1(b). 

3. In the event a discovery dispute arises, counsel for the party seeking discovery shall in good

faith confer in person with 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 declaration

setting forth these meet and confer efforts, 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 Rule of Civil Procedure 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filed motions may be withdrawn without leave of the Court, within seven (7) days of the date for service of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.

BEFORE 5:00 P.M. ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING THE ELECTRONIC

FILING, THE PARTIES ARE REQUIRED TO LODGE DIRECTLY WITH CHAMBERS ONE
