Filing 92 MINUTE ORDER: (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 5/6/2020. The court has received and reviewed California's motion to strike #83 . The filings California seeks to strike were submitted on April 30, 2020. All parties knew, or should have known, that the court would begin reviewing and digesting them immediately in order to prepare for the May 7, 2020 expedited hearing, set on shorted time at California's request. These documents were not terribly lengthy and could have been reviewed by California immediately as well. Yet, California waited until Sunday, May 3, 2020 to move to strike them. For that reason, the motion is arguably untimely. Moreover, although the "uniqueness" of some portions of defendant-intervenor's filings is debatable, they were not entirely duplicative. Under the circumstances (including the absence of significant time for any defendant intervenor to review any other opposing party's briefs before filing), the court does not believe any party has violated the letter of the court's prior order. Accordingly, the motion to strike is DENIED. That said, the court intends to issue further, detailed orders designed to reign in motions practice in these cases in the future. (Thorp, J) |

Filing 64 ORDER RELATING Cases and REASSIGNING Magistrate Judge, signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/22/2020. New Case Number: 1:20CV00426DADEPG. (Marrujo, C) |
Filing 63 MINUTE ORDER: (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) signed by District Judge Dale A. Drozd on 4/22/2020. The court has received and reviewed plaintiffs' ex parte request to shorten time #52 on the recently-filed motion for preliminary injunction (PI) #54 . Given the preliminary showing therein indicating that irreparable harm may ensue as early as May 11, 2020, the court intends to set a joint hearing on the PI motion and on the parallel PI motion in the companion case Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations v. Ross, 1:20-cv-00431 DAD EPG, for either May 5, 6, or 7, 2020. Given the numbers of parties involved, the court would prefer that all parties in both cases meet and confer immediately in an effort to reach a stipulation to one or two proposed time(s) and date(s) for the hearing that best suit their schedules. The court also requests that the parties attempt to reach agreement as to a briefing schedule that would give the court at least 7 calendar days prior to the hearing date to review any opposition(s) and at least four calendar days to review any replies. The parties are cautioned that, in light of this accelerated timeline, limiting participation by the intervenors to briefing of issues that are truly unique to those intervenors will be necessary. For example, the court does not anticipate having sufficient time to review declarations from intervenor experts who plan to address issues already covered by the federal defendants, even if those expert opinions diverge from federal defendants' expert opinions. Such nuanced differences must, as a matter of practical reality, wait until briefing on the merits takes place. Thus, any submission by intervenors must be strictly limited to issues and opinions truly unique to the intervenor. Any stipulation should take this into account or the court will consider imposing such constraints sua sponte. (Thorp, J) |
