(2) why the submission of 42,000 pages 2|| of documents is truly necessary; (3) similarly, how the parties intend to present a discovery motion on such a large volume of material in a manner that allows for judicial resolution; and (4) how 4| counsel could be found to have sufficiently conferred in good faith given the extraordinary volume 5|| of materials in dispute.”

6 IT IS SO ORDERED.
