Case No. 2:11-cv-03577-RDP

ORDER
On August 5, 2016, the Special Master issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. #
237) containing the recommendation that Boeing’s “Motion to Compel AAI’s Responses to
Boeing’s Interrogatory No. 1 and Requests for Admission Nos. 6, 14, 15, 16, and 20” be granted
in part and denied in part. No objections were filed to this Report and Recommendation.
After careful consideration of the record in this case and the Special Master’s Report and
Recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the Reports of the Special Master. The court
further ACCEPTS the recommendations of the Special Master. It is therefore ORDERED that
Boeing’s “Motion to Compel AAI’s Responses to Boeing’s Interrogatory No. 1 and Requests for
Admission Nos. 6, 14, 15, 16, and 20” is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. In
particular, the court ORDERS that:

1.

Boeing’s Motion is DENIED to the extent that it requests unprompted

supplementation from AAI of its Interrogatory #1 responses;
2.

Boeing’s Motion is DENIED to the extent that it challenges the sufficiency of

AAI’s answers to the Disputed RFAs; and
3.

Boeing’s Motion should be GRANTED to the extent that Boeing wishes to

submit specific, good-faith requests to AAI for additional information regarding its Interrogatory
#1 responses.
DONE and ORDERED this September 8, 2016.
