FRITO-LAY, INC.,
Re: Dkt. No. 68
Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
On January 27, 2016, Plaintiff Jane Roe filed a discovery letter brief, because Defendant
12
Frito-Lay did not participate in the drafting of the letter. (Letter, Dkt. No. 68 at 1.) The letter
13
relates to allegedly deficient discovery responses served in October 2014. Id. Plaintiff is correct
14
that she is entitled to verified interrogatory responses. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(5). Plaintiff is
15
not, however, entitled to verified responses to requests for admission or requests for production.
16
The parties are reminded of their ongoing obligation to supplement their responses under
17
Rule 26(e), and are ordered to meet and confer regarding the disputes identified in Plaintiff’s
18
letter, including scheduling depositions at a time that is convenient to the parties and witnesses.
19
See Civil L.R. 30-1. The parties shall also keep in mind the Northern District’s Guidelines for
20
Professional Conduct (http://cand.uscourts.gov/professional_conduct_guidelines), i.e. ¶ 9(b)
21
(Discovery). See also Fed. R. Civ. P. 1 (encourages the “just, speedy, and inexpensive
22
determination of every action and proceeding”). Should the parties be unable to resolve these
23
disputes without court intervention, they shall file a joint letter that complies with the
24
undersigned’s standing order. (See Judge Westmore’s General Standing Order ¶¶ 12-13.)

IT IS SO ORDERED.
