(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION by Magistrate Judge Diana M. Kwok. Notwithstanding the Notice of Filing of Report and Recommendation, the parties must file a joint letter within 24 hours stating whether any party intends to object (or reply to an objection) and thus needs the objection and reply period in the Notice preserved, or whether all parties agree that the objection period may be waived because no objections will be filed. See United States v. Barney, 568 F.2d 134, 136 (9th Cir. 1978) (per curiam). The failure to file a timely joint letter for any reason will be deemed the parties' consent to the waiver of the objection period, permitting the district judge to accept the Report and Recommendation without objection. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (kl) TEXT ONLY ENTRY (Entered: 05/26/2026)
