NOTICE Plaintiffs' Notice of Intent to File Opposition to Defendants' Ex Parte Application by All Plaintiffs re 50 MOTION to VACATE Scheduling Conference and Set Aside Joint Scheduling Report and Rule 26 Requirements Re: Initial Disclosures and Discovery Conference. (Krishnan, Ajay) (Entered: 05/14/2025)

MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker on 05/14/2025: According to the declaration of attorney Olga Y. Kuchins in support of Defendants' ex parte motion to vacate scheduling conference (Doc. 50 at 9, par. 2), Defendants first raised with Plaintiffs their position that they are exempt from Rule 26's initial disclosure and discovery conference requirements five days prior to the deadline to meet/confer pursuant to Rule 26. Accordingly, as Defendants have failed to show a satisfactory explanation for the need for the issuance of relief on an ex parte basis, the Court construes Defendants' ex parte application as a motion for administrative relief pursuant to Local Rule 233. See Mission Power Eng'g Co. v. Cont'l Cas. Co., 883 F. Supp. 488, 492 (C.D. Cal. 1995) ("it must be established that the moving party is without fault in creating the crisis that requires ex parte relief, or that the crisis occurred as a result of excusable neglect."). Therefore, any opposition by Plaintiffs to Defendants' motion must be filed no later than May 19, 2025, and may not exceed five (5) pages. See L.R. 233(b). Defendants shall not file a reply and the motion will be submitted before the undersigned without hearing. Further, the scheduling conference set for June 4, 2025, is continued to July 8, 2025, at 10:00AM, in Bakersfield (CDB) before Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker. The parties shall appear at the conference remotely via Zoom video conference, and counsel may obtain the Zoom ID and password from the Courtroom Deputy prior to the conference. A joint scheduling conference statement shall be filed in compliance with the procedures set forth in the Order Setting Mandatory Scheduling Conference (Doc. 24 ). (Deputy Clerk CRB) (Entered: 05/14/2025)

CONSENT/DECLINE of U.S. Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)(1), this document is restricted to attorneys and court staff only. Judges do not have access to view this document and will be informed of a party's response only if all parties have consented to the referral. (Kuchins, Olga) (Entered: 05/14/2025)
