ORDER RE AUGUST 28 LETTER

Re: Dkt. 371

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Case No. 19-cv-07123-PJH

12

14

On August 27, 2024, the court issued an order addressing a number of discovery

15

disputes between the parties. See Dkt. 370. In relevant part, the court denied as moot

16

defendants’ request to compel plaintiffs to produce a privilege log, based on plaintiffs’

17

representation “that they intend to produce a privilege log in advance of the first

18

deposition of plaintiffs’ witnesses.” See id. at 1.

19

On August 28, defendants filed a letter brief asserting that the first deposition of a

20

plaintiffs’ witness took place on August 14, and that plaintiffs did not produce a privilege

21

log in advance of the deposition, nor have they done so as of the letter brief’s filing. See

22

Dkt. 371.

23

The court construes defendants’ letter brief as a motion for leave to file a motion

24

for reconsideration based on a “material difference in fact . . . from that which was

25

presented to the Court before entry of the interlocutory order for which reconsideration is

26

sought,” and GRANTS the motion for leave. See Civil L.R. 7-9(b)(1). Defendants may

27

file a separate motion for reconsideration, not to exceed five (5) pages, by Tuesday,

28

September 3, 2024, or defendants may stand on their current letter brief if they have

1

nothing to add. Plaintiffs may file a response, not to exceed five (5) pages, by

2

Wednesday, September 4, 2024.
