JOINT MOT. TO AMEND
DEADLINES RE: ECF NO. 365
Case No. 2:12-cv-01699-KJM-EFB

1

Plaintiff-Intervenor State of California (“California”) and Defendant Rite Aid Corporation

2

(“Rite Aid”) jointly move for an order amending the deadline for Rite Aid to comply with the part

3

of the Court’s October 16, 2020 order (ECF No. 365) requiring Rite Aid to produce all documents

4

responsive to California’s Request for Production (“RPD”) Nos. 69, 72, 75, 84, 88, and 121-123

5

by November 16, 2020. The parties request that the foregoing deadline be extended by three

6

weeks, to December 7, 2020.

7

This joint motion is made on the grounds that unanticipated events at Rite Aid’s corporate

8

headquarters have significantly delayed the search, collection, and review of documents

9

maintained at Rite Aid’s corporate headquarters that are potentially responsive to the above

10

requests. On October 22, 2020, Rite Aid’s corporate headquarters office unexpectedly lost

11

power. To date, power at Rite Aid’s corporate headquarters still has not been restored. Efforts to

12

restore power are ongoing, but are expected to last approximately a week. Rite Aid did not

13

anticipate this lengthy power outage when the parties discussed with the Court at the October 14,

14

2020 hearing how much time Rite Aid anticipated it would need to complete its production of

15

documents responsive to RPD Nos. 69, 72, 75, 84, 88, and 121-123.

16

Therefore, Rite Aid moves to amend the court order, ECF No. 365, as follows:
Event
Rite Aid shall produce all
documents responsive to California
RPD Nos. 69, 72, 75, 84, 88, and
121-123, subject to California’s
qualification that RPD Nos. 69, 72,
75, 84 seek only documents that
“actually discuss, reflect, or
documents” delegations or
authorizations.

Original Deadline
November 16, 2020

Amended Deadline
December 7, 2020

23
Relying, in good faith, on Rite Aid’s representations, California joins the motion.
