Respondent.
_____________________________________/
The court grants Callwave’s motion for discovery of the documents that Location Labs gave to

18

AVG as part of AVG’s due diligence in its acquisition of Location Labs. Location Labs says that it

19

already produced 714 pages and argues that doing even that has been unduly burdensome, but this

20

assertion is made without support. It also asserts that the documents are irrelevant, but it does not

21

rebut Callwave’s argument that the information is relevant to two of the Georgia Pacific factors.

22

Finally, Location Labs does not provide any context for its assertion of the common interest

23

privilege, nor does it show that the documents are privileged in the first place. The court’s extensive

24

prior discovery and case management hearings also provide context for this outcome.

25

The court denies Location Lab’s motion for further costs.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
