at the point where they need to filea noticed motion, they should (1) email the clerk and (cc opposing
counsel) requesting available dates for "a CMC on a discovery dispute," (2) consider the possible dates
given inresponse by the clerk, (3) email the clerk with the consensus date(s) or the parties' competing
requests. Counsel must appear in person. No court callappearance will be permitted. The foregoing email
traffic should not include a discussion of the merits, but rather simply identify the nature of the
prospective motion (e.g.,"Motion to Compel Further Answers to Interrogatories," or "Motion to Compel
Smith's Attendance atDeposition," etc.).
INFORMAL DISCOVERY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
Parties must fileand serve a statement of discovery issues/disputes as a part of the case management

email (Dept.301@alameda.courts.ca.gov) that succinctly statesthe issue(s) to be decided and incorporates
a statement of each side'sposition. The email should be no more than eight (8)pages and contain no
attachments. If the e-mail does not provide enough information toresolve the dispute, the court may ask

either party filing a motion (although in practice most parties accede to the court's informal ruling).
Sanctions are not available through this process. If allparties do not agree to submit a dispute for
informal resolution or are unable to agree on a joint email, then the party seeking reliefmust filea motion
pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure. The court does not entertain unilateral requests to resolve
discovery disputes informally.
