Re: Dkt. Nos. 44 & 52
SAVE MART SUPERMARKETS, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No.16-cv-00601-CRB (JSC)

12
13

This action has been referred to the undersigned magistrate judge for discovery. On

14

December 15, 2016, the Court held a hearing regarding the pending discovery letter briefs. (Dkt.

15

Nos. 44 & 52.) This Order confirms the rulings of the Court with respect to the issues raised in

16

these discovery letter briefs.

17

Plaintiff’s motion to compel documents responsive to Request for the Production of

18

Documents No. 65 is denied. Defendants confirmed their position that any responsive documents

19

are privileged and thus inadmissible and Defendants have produced a privilege log identifying

20

these documents. To the extent that Plaintiff disputes the adequacy of the log and/or whether any

21

particular documents identified on the log are in fact privileged, the parties shall meet and confer

22

and file a joint discovery letter brief as necessary.

23
24

Defendants’ motion to compel Plaintiff’s further deposition is denied for the reasons stated
on the record.

25

Defendants’ motion to compel production of Plaintiff’s cell phone is granted in part.

26

Plaintiff shall produce her phone and the mirror-image copy of her phone from April 2016 directly

27

to Defendants’ forensic expert who shall review the two items to determine: (1) whether it

28

contains any audio recordings relevant to this litigation, and (2) whether it has been wiped. The

1

parties shall work together to schedule this production to occur by January 13, 2016 and the expert

2

shall conduct the examination of Plaintiff’s phone as expeditiously as possible.

3
4

The parties are advised that the Court will be unavailable from December 26, 2016 through
January 13, 2017.

5

This Order disposes of Docket Nos. 44 and 52.

6

IT IS SO ORDERED.
