PLAINTIFF TIMELINES, INC.âS REPLY
IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO CLARIFY AND COMPEL
Plaintiff, Timelines, Inc. (âTimelinesâ), through its counsel, files this brief reply in
support of its motion to clarify the discovery schedule in this case and to compel Defendant
Facebook, Inc. to produce the requested documents by a date certain.
In its opposition, Facebook advises the Court that it expects to continue producing
documents on a rolling basis and to complete its production by the end of July. But to date,
Facebookâs promised rolling production is anything but rolling. In fact, as set forth in
Timelinesâs motion, on June 14th, Facebookâs counsel indicated that Facebook would make
another rolling production on or before June 22nd. Yet Facebook never produced the
documents. Timelinesâs concern is that Facebook intends to dump virtually all of its document
production (potentially thousands of documents as suggested by Facebookâs filing) on Timelines
on or about July 31st, which will force Timelines to review these documents before proceeding
with and completing fact depositions by August 31st. To that end (and accepting Facebookâs
position that a complete production of its documents by June 29th is âlogistically impossibleâ),
Timelines respectfully requests that the Court order Facebook to make a rolling production of
documents beginning on June 30th and ending no later than July 31st, with not less than one
production to Timelines each week.
Timelines also asks the Court to clarify the discovery schedule in the case, and,
specifically, indicate whether the schedule set forth in the Joint Initial Status Report is
controlling. (Dkt. 36 at p. 2.)
