If such a motion is filed by that date, discovery is stayed, 25 and the deadlines set in this scheduling order are continued to begin running from the date 26 the motion for summary judgment is resolved.

All discovery shall be completed by: 150 days from the filing date of this 5 Order or 150 days from the filing date of the Order resolving any motion for summary 6 judgment regarding exhaustion. Parties are reminded that they are not to file the actual 7 disclosures with the Court, just the notices of disclosure. 8 In the event of a dispute over discovery matters, parties are cautioned to first engage 9 in personal consultation regarding the dispute and to make a sincere effort to resolve the 10 conflict. The parties should act to resolve discovery disputes quickly. The moving party 11 must certify that after consultation, the parties have been unable to resolve the matter. 12 LRCiv. 7.2(j). 13 14 4. Dispositive motions, other than the exhaustion motion, shall be filed by: 30 days from the end of discovery. 15 Motions, including dispositive motions, shall be set for oral argument, if requested 16 by counsel, and at the discretion of the Court. A party desiring oral argument on a motion 17 shall request argument by placing “Oral Argument Requested” immediately below the title 18 of the motion or response, pursuant to LR Civ. 7.2(f). The Court will set oral argument 19 accordingly. 20 When any pleadings or memoranda are appended with more than one exhibit, the 21 exhibits shall be divided by tabbed dividers, and there shall be a table of contents for the 22 exhibits. All documents shall be secured on the left-hand side either by a staple or in some 23 other fashion so that pages can be turned without the document falling apart. This applies 24 to an original filed under seal and all copies. JUDGE’S COURTESY COPIES ARE 25 REQUIRED, which “shall reference[] the specific document number, [and] shall be 26 printed directly from CM/ECF.” See LR Civ. 5.4; Administrative Policies and 27 Procedures Manual § II.D (emphasis added). 28 -2- 1 Pursuant to LR Civ. 7.2(i), failing to file the requisite responsive memorandum or 2 failing to appear at oral argument may be deemed a consent to the granting or denial of any 3 motion, and the Court may dispose of the motion summarily. 4 5. The parties shall file their joint proposed pretrial order by: 30 days from the 5 close of discovery or, if a dispositive motion is filed, 30 days from the filing date of the 6 Order resolving the dispositive motion. 7 6. The pretrial conference will be set upon receipt of the joint proposed pretrial 8 order. The parties responsible for trial of the lawsuit shall appear and participate in the 9 Pretrial Conference.

A jury demand has been made. 13 8. Court imposed discovery deadlines cannot be extended by a party without Court 14 approval. Continuances will not be freely granted. Any requests for extensions must be 15 made in writing and made prior to the expiration of the time prescribed. The request must 16 identify whether it is opposed, the number of prior continuances requested, the discovery 17 conducted to date, the anticipated discovery to be done if the request is granted, and the 18 reasons why discovery has not been completed within the deadline. 19 9. Plaintiff must file and serve a notice of a change of address 10 days before the 20 move is effective, if practicable. Plaintiff must not include a motion for other relief with 21 a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal.
