The compliance hearing on Friday, March 20, 2015 at 9:01 a.m. is intended to confirm that counsel have timely met and conferred as required by the Pretrial Instructions.

If compliance is complete, the parties need not appear and the compliance hearing will be taken off calendar. Telephonic appearances will be allowed if the parties have submitted a joint statement in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may result in sanctions.
Parties are advised that, while the Court set a trial date in this action, the trial date may be advanced if the calendar opens. Said trial date will not be sooner than eight (8) weeks after the close of discovery.
Modification to the timing or extent of parties' discovery obligations under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and other applicable rules may be sought pursuant to a separate request. The parties are directed to submit a joint proposed order to the Court within five (5) business days following the date of the Case Management Conference which sets forward the modifications.
The parties must comply with both the Court's Standing Order in Civil Cases and Standing Order for Pretrial Instructions in Civil Cases for additional deadlines and procedures. All Standing Orders are available on the Court's website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/ygrorders.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
