On July 31, 2017, the Court held a further case management conference with the
United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
parties. ECF No. 82. During this conference, it became apparent that the parties were
12
having a dispute regarding electronic discovery. The parties were given two weeks to
13
meet and confer to attempt to resolve the dispute and were instructed to be prepared to
14
discuss the result of their attempt(s) in a status conference scheduled for August 11, 2017.

In preparation for the status conference, both parties submitted supplemental statements
16
setting forth their position on the dispute. See ECF Nos. 83–84. During the August 11,
17
2017 status conference, the Plaintiffs agreed to partially accept the proposal set forth in
18
Starbucks’ supplemental statement. See ECF No. 84 at 3–4. More specifically, the parties
19
agree that Starbucks shall “process, search and review approximately 15 GB of additional
20
ESI in the form of email.” Id. at 4:19–20. The scope of the additional discovery shall be

Id. at 3–4. At the same time, the parties could not reach agreement on which party should
9
bear the costs of conducting the additional discovery, which is estimated to cost
10
approximately $4,500. Id. at 4:22. However, shortly after the status conference, Starbucks
United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
filed another supplemental statement agreeing to “incur the cost to collect and process the
12
subject email,” while reserving the right to seek to shift or recover any future costs related
13
to any additional requests for electronic discovery. ECF No. 86, at 2:6–9. In accordance
14
with the parties’ agreement, the Court also orders Starbucks to bear the costs related to
15
conducting the electronic discovery described above.
