See ECF No. 365 at 2. 2 8 9 On October 16, 2020, the Court ordered California by October 19, 2020 to provide Rite Aid a list specifically identifying each of the prescription records for the approximately 65 percent of 10 sample claims that are illegible or difficult to read. The estimate was based on California’s 11 calculation in connection with Rite Aid’s motion for supplemental responses to contention 12 interrogatories (ECF No. 328) and California’s motion for sanctions (ECF No. 333). While 13 California was finalizing the list, it found it made a calculation error which increased the number 14 of affected sample claims to 85 percent. California informed Rite Aid about the error and the 15 resulting increase when it provided the list of affected sample claims on October 19, 2020. 16 Due to the increase, Rite Aid believes it will need two additional weeks to produce the 17 requested prescription records. In turn, California believes it will need two additional weeks to 18 provide supplemental responses to Rite Aid’s Interrogatories 3-5, 7-9, and 13. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Therefore, California and Rite Aid jointly move to amend the court order, ECF No. 365, as follows: Event Rite Aid shall produce the prescription records, in the format providing the best available clarity, for each of the sample claims identified on California’s list California shall provide supplemental responses to Rite Aid’s Interrogatories 3-5, 7-9, and 13 Original Deadline November 16, 2020 Amended Deadline November 30, 2020 December 31, 2020 January 15, 2021 28 2 JT.
