AGCS MARINE INSURANCE CO.,

Re: Dkt. No. 66

Defendant.

18

The parties submitted a joint supplemental letter brief concerning their continued

19

dispute as to Century Aluminum’s responses to interrogatories Nos. 8, 14, and 16. Dkt.

20

No. 66. Since filing their initial letter briefs, Dkt. Nos. 59, 60, and 62, and addressing the

21

Court’s order regarding meet and confer requirements, Dkt. No. 63, the parties have now

22

resolved their differences as to interrogatories Nos. 10 and 12.

23

Regarding Century’s responses to interrogatory No. 8, AGCS’s motion to compel

24

further responses is DENIED. To the extent AGCS wishes to discover “side agreements

25

for discounts off of invoices for other repairs,” Dkt. No. 66 at 2, it may do so in a separate

26

interrogatory or by deposition. This topic was not specified in interrogatory No. 8.

27
28

AGCS’s motion to compel further responses to interrogatories Nos. 14 and 16 is
also DENIED. Century’s production and identification of 30,000 responsive documents,

Case No. 11-cv-02514 YGR (NC)
Order re: Motion to Compel

1

considered in the context of other discovery produced by Century, was sufficient under

2

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(d)(1).

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
