I/P ENGINE, INC.,
Civ. Action No. 2:11-cv-512
PLAINTIFF I/P ENGINEâS MOTION TO SHORTEN
GOOGLEâS TIME TO RESPOND TO I/P ENGINEâS MOTION TO COMPEL
DEFENDANT GOOGLE INC.âS CUSTODIAL DOCUMENT PRODUCTION
Plaintiff I/P Engine, Inc. (âI/P Engineâ) moves to shorten Googleâs time to respond to I/P
Engineâs Motion to Compel Defendant Google Inc.âs Custodial Document Production.
I/P Engine, Inc. (âI/P Engineâ) served its initial document requests upon Defendant
Google Inc. (âGoogleâ) more than six months ago, on November 7, 2011. On April 9, 2012,
Google for the first time identified a target date for the production of those documents: June 15,
2012 â more than eight months after service of I/P Engineâs document requests. Googleâs
delays, and its proposed production date, are unreasonable, reflect a disregard for discovery
procedures in this judicial district, and create tremendous prejudice for I/P Engine. I/P Engineâs
Motion to Compel requests relief from the Court to address these delays and time is of the
essence.
In an effort to expedite the briefing process for I/P Engineâs Motion to Compel and for
the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff I/P Engineâs
Motion to Shorten Googleâs Time to Respond to I/P Engineâs Motion to Compel, I/P Engine
DSMDB-3049035v1
respectfully requests this Court require Google to respond to I/P Engineâs Motion to Compel on
or before April 18, 2012.
