Plaintiff Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”) and Defendant Pounce Consulting,

WHEREAS on November 8, 2018, Judge Laporte found that “the emails and other

5 documents of Roger Viera are in the possession, custody, and/or control of [Pounce USA],
6 regardless of whether the documents are housed on a server in Mexico, given that Mr. Viera is an
7 officer and majority owner of Pounce USA and given that Mr. Viera used these email accounts
8 to direct the business of Pounce USA,” and ordered Pounce USA to “search for and produce all
9 documents of Roger Viera that are responsive to Cadence’s documents requests, including any
10 emails housed on the server in Mexico.” (Dkt. No. 189).

It is hereby agreed and stipulated among the Parties as follows:
1. Pounce USA will produce all documents in compliance with the Court’s
November 8, 2018 Order by January 7, 2019.
2. In connection with this production, within 7 days of this Stipulation, Pounce USA

will provide to Cadence proposed ESI search terms and a protocol for collecting,

searching, and producing ESI.

3. Within 7 days of Pounce USA proposing ESI search terms, Cadence and Pounce

18

USA will meet and confer on the ESI search terms and production protocol.

produce non-ESI documents.
5. Pounce USA will comply with its legal obligations to preserve evidence and will
not remove or delete any responsive documents to avoid production.
