Plaintiff’s motions will be continued to a new date as set forth below. NO HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE ON FEBRUARY 14, 2025.

Pursuant to the Court’s power to “amend and control its process and orders so as to make them conform to law and justice” (Code Civ. Proc., § 128, subd. (a)(8)), the Court orders the parties in this case to participate in a meet and confer with the Court (“Informal Discovery Conference” or “IDC”). Lead or other designated counsel for the parties with full authority are ordered to participate in person in an IDC. After consulting with opposing counsel regarding available dates, Plaintiff must make a prompt reservation for the IDC using the Court’s online reservation system. Plaintiff must file Dept. 50’s one-page IDC form in the department seven days prior to the IDC, and the responding parties may file the same form in the department setting forth a response three days prior to the IDC.¿ ¿¿¿

Once Plaintiff has confirmed an IDC date, Plaintiff must use the Court’s online reservation system to continue the motions to a post-IDC discovery hearing date. The parties are ordered to have with them whatever materials are needed to make the IDC session productive and successful. Prior to the IDC date, lead or other designated counsel for the parties with full authority are to meet and confer, in person or via telephone in a further attempt to resolve as many of the issues as possible before the IDC. (See CRC Rule 3.670, subd. (f)(2).) If the parties resolve their discovery disputes before the IDC date, Plaintiff is ordered to take both the IDC and the motions off calendar as soon as possible.¿¿

Plaintiff is ordered to provide notice of this Order.¿¿
