Case No. 4:18-cv-07261-HSG (KAW)

ORDER TERMINATING 3/25/19 

DISCOVERY LETTER

Re: Dkt. No. 34

On March 25, 2019, Defendant Inland Products, Inc. filed a discovery letter before the 

district court concerning the scope of discovery appropriate for the limited purpose of determining 

whether the amount in controversy is met to confer subject matter jurisdiction under the Class 

Action Fairness Act. (Letter, Dkt. No. 34 at 1.) Therein, Defendant represented that Plaintiff 

refused to provide his portion of the joint letter brief within a definitive timeframe. Id. at 3. 

On March 27, 2019, all discovery matters in this case were referred to the undersigned. 

Accordingly, the discovery letter is TERMINATED. The parties are ordered to meet and confer 

within 7 days of this order, in person or telephonically, as required by the undersigned’s standing 

order. (Judge Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶ 12.) If the parties’ meet and confer efforts do 

not completely resolve the dispute, they shall file a joint letter within five business days of the 

meet and confer session. Id. at ¶ 13. All joint letters must comply with the format contained in the 

undersigned’s standing order. See id. The parties are advised that the refusal to participate in the 

joint letter process is tantamount to consenting to the relief requested.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 29, 2019
