ORDER RE: STIPULATION
REQUESTING CLARIFICATION OF

Defendants.

Re: Dkt. No. 199

16

Before the Court is the Stipulation, filed August 1, 2019, “Requesting Clarification

17

of Reach of Jurisdictional Discovery Orders,” by which stipulation plaintiff Glass Egg

18

Digital Media (“Glass Egg”) and defendant Gameloft SE (“GLSE”) seek further

19

clarification as to the Court’s order of February 12, 2018 (“February 12 Order”), as

20

clarified by the Court’s order of July 18, 2019 (“July 18 Order”). In particular, the parties

21

seek clarification as to whether the February 12 Order, whereby Glass Egg was afforded

22

limited discovery on the issue of personal jurisdiction over GLSE, is intended to apply to

23

jurisdictional discovery requests directed to third parties, or only to jurisdictional discovery

24

requests directed to parties to the instant action.

25

Although, at the time the February 12 Order was issued, the Court anticipated the

26

discovery afforded by said order would focus primarily on requests directed to GLSE, it

27

was not the Court’s intent to exclude from the discovery afforded, or exempt from the

28

limitations placed thereon, jurisdictional discovery requests directed to third parties.

1

In sum, the February 12 Order, as clarified by the July 18 Order, applies to third-

2

party discovery, including the subpoenas that prompted the instant request for

3

clarification.

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
