The parties have filed a Joint Discovery Letter Brief, (Dkt. No. 202), which asks the Court to
resolve the following discovery issue:

16

Whether ADT should be permitted, outside of the constraints of ordinary merits
discovery, to depose former ADT customers and defendant Claudio Hand concerning
alleged violations of the terms of the Court’s January 3, 2013, order barring the use of
false claims of affiliation with alarm system manufacturers GE and Honeywell.

17

The Court understands that “Security One has agreed to depositions concerning complaints

15

18

that ADT first became aware of on or after March 15.” Accordingly, the Court will address only

19

those depositions to which Security One has not agreed—depositions concerning complaints that

20

ADT first became aware of before March 15, 2013.

21
22
23
24

ADT has not made a sufficiently persuasive showing that Defendants have violated the terms
of the Court’s January 3, 2013 Order so as to justify ordering the requested discovery.
Without further order of the Court, the use of any agreed to depositions shall be limited to
proving violations of the injunction.

25

This Order Terminates Docket Number 202.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
