Re: Dkt. Nos. 60 & 61

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No. 4:17-cv-00446-HSG (KAW)

12
13

On July 27, 2017, the parties filed separate joint letters concerning the sufficiency of

14

Defendant Best Buy’s responses to Plaintiff Jonathan Strickland’s first set of interrogatories (Dkt.

15

No. 60) and his first set of requests for production of documents (Dkt. No. 61).

16

Currently, pending before the district court is a motion to dismiss all of Plaintiff’s claims

17

on res judicata grounds, given that he previously sued Best Buy in state court and lost. (Dkt. No.

18

61 at 5.) Furthermore, the undersigned ordered Best Buy to supplement its responses to Plaintiff

19

Harris’s special interrogatories and requests for production of documents, which should provide

20

Plaintiffs with sufficient information at this point in the pre-class certification stage. (See Dkt. No.

21

72.)

22

Accordingly, in an effort to conserve resources, the Court TERMINATES the Strickland

23

joint letters, and directs the parties to refile the dispute should the case survive the pending

24

motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
