The court held a discovery hearing on August 2, 2018 to address the parties’ discovery
disputes and rules as follows.
First, the relevant ESI date range for the defendants’ production is through December 31,
2017.
Second, the deadline for document production is August 31, 2018 for the plaintiff and the
defendants.
Third, the defendants will confirm the sufficiency of the Diekmann production by Monday,
August 6, 2018.
Fourth, the parties will confer on their ESI search terms next week, decide which terms to run

26

on which data sets (presumably tethered to time periods), and identify the time it will take to

27

complete the ESI productions by Thursday, August 9, 2018.

ORDER – No. 17-cv-05054-SI (LB)

Fifth, by Friday, August 10, 2018, the parties must confer and preferably fix their deposition

2

schedules for all deponents. As part of this discussion, the parties must work out the appropriate

3

time to allot to the Diekmann deposition (as discussed at the hearing). Probably the deposition

4

ought to be longer than a day so that the plaintiff may have the full day (if necessary) for what will

5

be trial testimony.

7

Finally, the parties must update the court by Friday, August 10, 2018, about their progress on
these goals and any proposed next steps.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
