ORDER RE DISCOVERY
LETTER DATED

UNITED AIRLINES, INC.,
Defendant.

No. C 19-00396 WHA

/

The Court has reviewed defendant United Airlines, Inc.’s discovery letter brief dated

16

October 4 (Dkt. No. 34). United takes issue with plaintiff Theodore Liaw’s discovery responses

17

served on September 30 (id. at 1). Specifically, it contends that Liaw’s interrogatory responses

18

are deficient and that he failed to produce any documents. United requests an “expedited”

19

consideration of its discovery letter due to an “impending deadline of October 7, 2019 to file a

20

motion to compel in this action” (ibid.). But United does not specify what the motion to compel

21

is related to, how the alleged discovery response deficiencies affect said motion, or even the

22

exact relief it seeks with this letter. Nor did the parties meet and confer before United filed the

23

instant letter (id. at 2). United thus has not sufficiently shown the need for an expedited

24

consideration of the instant letter. Accordingly, United’s request is DENIED without prejudice

25

to a future letter brief filed after the parties have met and conferred in good faith.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 4, 2019.
