NONG SHIM COMPANY, LTD, et al.,
Re: Dkt. Nos. 211, 215
Defendants.

On August 4, 2015, the court ordered the parties to meet and confer regarding search terms
13
as well as Defendants' custodians. If the parties could not fully resolve their disputes on these two
14
discrete topics, they were to file a joint discovery letter by no later than August 26, 2015. [Docket
15
No. 187 at 2.] On August 21, 2015, the parties reported that they were engaged in useful meet and
16
confer efforts, and sought an extension of the joint letter filing deadline to September 2, 2015,
17
which the court granted. [Docket Nos. 197, 200.] The parties sought, and the court granted a
18
further extension to September 9, 2015. [Docket No. 202.] However, the parties then proposed
19
that they continue to meet and confer and simply submit a joint letter “if an impasse is reached.”
20
[Docket No. 204 at 3.] Although appreciative of the parties' cooperative efforts, the court imposed
21
a September 30, 2015 joint letter filing deadline in light of the fast-approaching discovery cut-off
22
set by Judge Orrick. [Docket No. 204.] The parties reached agreement on the search terms as of
23
September 30, 2015. [Docket No. 211 at 2.] The parties reached agreement on Defendants'
24
custodians as of October 6, 2015. [Docket No. 215.] Therefore, there are no remaining disputes
25
subject to the court’s September 30, 2015 joint letter deadline. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs used the
26
court's September 30, 2015 joint discovery deadline as a vehicle for raising many other disputes
27
without having engaged in the court's standard meet and confer process. [Docket No. 211.] The
28
court denies Docket No. 211 without prejudice. The parties shall meet and confer on the disputes
raised in Docket No. 211, including Plaintiffs’ custodians. If the parties cannot informally resolve
2
all such disputes, they shall file a joint discovery letter on the remaining disputes raised in Docket
3
No. 211 by no later than October 27, 2015.
