ORDER ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION
FOR LEAVE TO FILE A MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION
Re: Dkt. No. 727

United States District Court
Northern District of California

The court has received Defendant Almawave USA, Inc.’s (“Almawave”) motion for leave

13

to file a motion for reconsideration of the court’s June 3, 2016 order on Almawave’s motions

14

regarding expert discovery, Plaintiff Loop AI Labs Inc.’s opposition thereto, and Almawave’s

15

reply. [Docket Nos. 727, 744, 757.]

16

On May 27, 2016, Almawave filed an administrative motion for leave to file a unilateral

17

letter brief regarding the depositions of Plaintiff’s expert witnesses, seeking an order 1)

18

compelling the depositions of Plaintiff’s expert witnesses; or 2) allowing the expert depositions to

19

take place after the June 7, 2016 expert discovery cutoff so that it could re-serve the deposition

20

subpoenas. [Docket No. 714.] In its response, Plaintiff indicated that its experts would

21

voluntarily appear for their depositions on June 1 and 2, 2016 as scheduled. [Docket No. 716.]

22

Therefore, on June 3, 2016, the court denied Almawave’s motion for leave to file a unilateral letter

23

brief as moot in light of Plaintiff’s representation. [Docket No. 719.] In other words, the court

24

denied Almawave’s motion because it appeared that the parties had reached an agreement about

25

the depositions. Based on the briefing related to Almawave’s motion for leave to file a motion for

26

reconsideration, it is clear that the parties have not reached an agreement about Plaintiff’s experts’

27

depositions. Thus, Almawave’s original administrative motion for leave to file a unilateral letter

28

brief regarding the depositions of Plaintiff’s expert witnesses is not moot. The administrative

1

motion is granted. Almawave shall file a two-page unilateral letter brief regarding the depositions

2

by no later than June 24, 2016. Plaintiff’s opposition shall not exceed two pages and shall be filed

3

by no later than June 29, 2016. Almawave’s motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration

4

is denied as moot.
