Counsel have not met and conferred in person or by telephone as required under CCP § 439(a). Counsel shall promptly meet and confer pursuant to statutory requirements.

If counsel determine at the conclusion of their discussions that the Court need not rule on some or all the motion, then counsel for moving party shall promptly notify the Court of the same in writing and, if appropriate, ask that the motion be dropped from calendar.

If counsel determine the motion is meritorious, then counsel for moving party shall

promptly notify the Court of the same in writing. If appropriate, counsel for moving party shall lodge a stipulation and order granting opposing party leave to file an amended pleading. Where a challenged complaint cannot be cured through amendment, an appropriate request for voluntary dismissal should be be filed.

If further efforts at an informal resolution of the motion are totally unavailing, then counsel for moving party shall file a supplemental declaration to that effect.

Whatever the outcome of counsels’ further discussions, counsel for moving party shall notify the court of the outcome no later than April 13, 2018.
