Re: Dkt. No. 185

Defendant Daleidin requests an opportunity to respond to NAF’s October 22, 2015 letter

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

(Dkt. 171-3). In that letter, NAF sought leave to depose an individual NAF believes is posting

12

online materials covered by the Court’s TRO and an order requiring Daleidin to turn over all

13

materials covered by the TRO to outside counsel for CMP. Daleidin’s counsel did not understand

14

NAF’s requests to be before the Court on a motion and, therefore, was awaiting the Court’s

15

direction before filing a response.

16

In light of the ambiguity in the docket, I GRANT Daleidin’s request. Daleidin shall file a

17

response to NAF’s October 22, 2015 letter, not to exceed two pages, by 12:00 p.m. Tuesday

18

November 3, 2015. The deposition authorized by the Court’s October 30, 2015 Order shall not

19

take place before the Court issues a further order, although service and scheduling may continue if

20

underway.

For clarity going forward, when a party seeks any form of relief from the Court, that party
shall file its request as either a noticed motion (under Civil Local Rule 7-2), a motion for
administrative relief (under Civil Local Rule 7-11), or a joint letter seeking resolution of a
discovery dispute, as appropriate.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 2, 2015
