DOCUMENTS AND SETTING
HEARING RE: DISCOVERY
DISPUTE

STANLEY G. MILLER, and others,
Re: Dkt. No. 46
Defendants.
On April 22, 2014, the parties filed a joint letter brief in which defendants seek to

17 compel Live Nation to produce (1) an unredacted copy of a settlement agreement between
18 Live Nation and its former CEO; and (2) “all documents responsive to the financial interests
19 in this lawsuit (Request Nos. 100-110).” Dkt. No. 46 at 4. Live Nation opposes
20 defendants’ request on the grounds that it has already produced the relevant portions of the
21 settlement agreement and that the remaining portions are irrelevant to this litigation and
22 involve privacy interests of Live Nation and third parties. Id. at 4-6. Live Nation further
23 asserts that it has agreed to amend “certain” of its discovery responses this week. Id. at 6.
24

By April 30, 2014, Live Nation must submit an unredacted copy of the settlement

25 agreement at issue to the Court for in-camera review.
26

Also by the same date (1) defendants must file with the Court a copy of the requests

27 for production at issue in this dispute, together with any responses provided by Live Nation
