ORDER GRANTING DISCOVERY
MOTION

Plaintiff,

United States District Court
For the Northern District of California

v.
KAVO AMERICA CORPORATION, et al.,
Defendants.

/

12

Currently before the Court is plaintiff’s motion to extend the November 1, 2011 discovery cut-

13

off to seek responses to two interrogatories (Interrogatory Nos. 1-2) and four documents requests (RFP

14

Nos. 19-22), and to compel defendant to provide responses to RFP No. 17. Defendant opposes the

15

motion, arguing that plaintiff has failed to demonstrate good cause to extend the discovery cut-off and

16

that RFP No. 17 seeks documents that implicate strong privacy interest of its employees and are not

17

directly relevant.

18

The Court GRANTS plaintiff’s motion. Plaintiff has established good cause for a limited

19

extension of the November 1, 2011 discovery cut-off to allow defendant to respond to the pending

20

interrogatories and document requests and for the Court to resolve any objections regarding those

21

requests. Defendant shall provide responses within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. Plaintiff

22

has also demonstrated that the documents sought in RFP No. 17 are directly relevant to his case and

23

should be produced. Defendant shall produce the responsive documents within thirty (30) days of the

24

date of this Order, along with a privilege log limited to attorney-client and attorney work-product

25

documents, if necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 4, 2011
