ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO MEET AND CONFER RE JOINT SITE INSPECTION Re: Dkt. No. 24

EDWARD J. DAVILA, District Judge.

Plaintiff Scott Johnson has filed an administrative motion asking the court to order Defendant Citibank to provide three dates of availability to conduct the joint site inspection under General Order 56. General Order 56 requires the parties to meet in person at the subject premises to conduct a joint site inspection, unless the plaintiff alleges only programmatic or policy violations. N.D. Cal. Standing Order No. 56 ¶ 3. The parties' counsel shall also attend the joint site inspection. Id. Experts may accompany the parties to the site inspection, but unlike the parties and their counsel, the attendance of experts is not required. Id. Here, Mr. Johnson does not allege only programmatic or policy violations, so Mr. Johnson, his counsel, Defendants, and Defendants' counsel must all meet in person at the subject premises to conduct the joint site inspection. See id.; Compl. ¶¶ 18-37. Mr. Johnson represents that Citibank has not responded to his attempts to schedule the joint site inspection.

The court orders the parties to meet-and-confer in good faith to reach an agreed-upon time and date when Mr. Johnson, his counsel, Defendants, and their counsel can all meet in person at the subject premises for the joint site inspection. This date must be within 35 days of the date of this order. Within seven days of the date of this order, the parties shall file a stipulation extending the deadline for the joint site inspection; the stipulation shall include an attestation from each party affirming that the party, in addition to their counsel, will attend the joint site inspection in person. This order resolves docket entry 24.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
