Escuela Popular Del Pueblo CASE N UMBER: 20CV369344 ORDER AND NOTICE OF INFORMAL DISCOVERY CONFERENCE An informal discovery conference for the above-entitled case has been set and you are directed to appear as follows: Date: December 17, 2021 At: 3:00 p.m. In: Department 1 Location: Superior Court, 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 951 13. The above conference has been scheduled by the Court at the request of the parties. The parties’ discovery meet and confer obligations require an actual conference (in-person, telephonic, or by videoconference) in all but extraordinary circumstances. If the parties are unable to resolve their dispute, they are required to meet and confer with the Court, informally, prior to filing a discovery motion, unless otherwise authorized by the Court. Each side must serve and lodge a short brief, on pleading paper and limited to no more than 3 pages, briefly discussing the issues to be addressed - by noon, at least two court days prior to the conference. No exhibits may be attached to the brief. The purpose of the brief is to provide the Court with an overview of the outstanding issues and is not to be used in place of a motion. Personal appearances are not permitted at this time; all appearances must be made through CourtCaII (or Zoom; link to be provided by the parties). Lead counsel with full authority to resolve the discovery dispute must attend unless excused by the Court. Under Code of Civil Procedure Section 2016.080, the Court’s Complex Guidelines, and the May 20, 2020 General Order Re: Covid-19 Emergency Order Regarding Complex Civil Actions, no party may move to compel discovery, or file any other discovery motion, including any motion for non-remote deposition, until the parties have had an informal discovery conference with the Court. Counsel must have exhausted all meet and confer obligations before the informal discovery conference. To request an informal discovery conference, counsel should contact the Complex Coordinator by email, which must be contemporaneously copied to counsel for all parties to the action. Under Code of Civil Procedure Section 2016.080(c)(2), the time for bringing any motion to compel is tolled starting on the date a party makes the email request for an informal discovery conference to the Court. If the discovery dispute is not resolved following the discovery conference, any party may proceed to file a motion. Any such motion must be filed within ten (10) court days of the conference, or within the 45-day statutory time, whichever date is later, unless otherwise specifically ordered by the Court.
