No. 3:15-mc-80106 (LB)

NOTICE OF REFERRAL AND

ORDER RE DISCOVERY

PROCEDURES

 TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

Plaintiffs Monica Barba and Jonathan Reisman have filed a motion to compel the production of

discovery from Defendant Impax Laboratories. The moving papers reflect that as recently as March

26, 2015, Impax represented that it would produce materials that Plaintiffs would deem to be in

compliance with the subpoena. That apparently did not happen and instead Plaintiffs filed this

motion, which may not have been served on Impax and which was not noticed for a hearing. 

Under the circumstances, the court's view is that its joint letter brief process (set forth in the

attached standing order) will provide a faster resolution of this dispute. That process requires that if

a meet-and-confer by other means does not resolve the parties' dispute, lead counsel for the parties

must meet and confer in person if counsel are local and thereafter submit a joint letter brief to the

court with information about any unresolved disputes. Given the delays recounted in the motion,

Plaintiffs may incorporate by reference the argument they raise in their motion. The must provide a

copy to Impax. Impax then must reply to Plaintiffs within two business days with their position in
