March 27, 2023 Filing 21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Young B. Kim: Parties are ordered to adhere to the following written discovery schedule: (1) exchange Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures by April 14, 2023; (2) serve written discovery requests by April 21, 2023 (requests to admit may be timely served before the end of fact discovery); (3) serve answers to written discovery requests by May 19, 2023; (4) confer about the adequacy of the discovery responses by June 2, 2023; and (5) file a joint status report identifying each side's written discovery issues (must identify the specific interrogatories and requests to produce), along with the relevant written discovery responses as exhibits, by June 9, 2023. The court will not consider general objections to written discovery requests if the court must address and rule on written discovery disputes. If the parties do not have any disputed written discovery issues, a status report is not required. Pursuant to Rule of Evidence 502(d), this court orders that inadvertent disclosures of attorney-client privileged and attorney work materials will not constitute a waiver of the associated privilege. The court further orders that upon written notification (including emails) from the opposing side that an inadvertent disclosure has occurred, the party shall return and/or destroy the materials at issue or file a motion for a determination on the claimed privilege within seven calendar days of the written notification. Finally, the parties indicate on page 7 of their joint status report (R. 18) that they consent to this court's jurisdiction. If so, they are directed to sign and file the form "Consent to Exercise of Jurisdiction by a United States Magistrate Judge" which can be found on the court's website under "Forms."
