ORDER RE DISCOVERY

PROCEDURES

 TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

The district court has referred Defendant’s pending discovery letter brief, and all other discovery

in this action, to the undersigned. (See 5/15/2015 Letter, ECF No. 40; Order of Referral, ECF No.

42.) This court normally requires joint discovery letter briefs, not separate ones, but in this situation,

and in the interest of time, the court orders Plaintiff to file a one-page letter brief in response to

Defendant’s letter brief by Friday, May 22, 2015, at 2:00 p.m.

Going forward, the parties are directed to comply with all applicable requirements in the court's

standing order (attached), including all procedures regarding resolution of discovery disputes. 

Those discovery procedures require, among other things, that the parties meet and confer in person if

counsel are local. The court's procedures are designed to prevent any one party from avoiding filing

a joint letter brief by allowing counsel to designate the meet-and-confer time if counsel do not agree. 

If the parties cannot navigate filing a joint letter brief, they may schedule a short case management
