United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

12

At the June 30, 2008 case management conference, the Court ordered Plaintiffs to fax,

13 with a copy to the Court, their discovery requests to Defendants. The Court then ordered 14 Defendants to identify immediately, by fax to Plaintiffs with a copy to the Court, any 15 documents that could not be produced as well as the reason why they could not be produced. 16 The Court has received both faxes1 and now issues the following order: This Court has not 17 ordered and does not now order that discovery be limited to issues related to settlement 18 preparation. To the contrary, discovery shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Civil 19 Procedure. In particular, Rule 26(b) provides that discovery may be had "regarding any 20 nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense," and that "[r]elevant 21 information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated 22 to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b). 23 24 IT IS SO ORDERED. 25 26 Dated: 07/09/08 27 28
