ORDER RE OCTOBER 30, 2018 JOINT
DISCOVERY LETTER BRIEFS
v.
10
11
Case No.11-cv-01263-EJD (VKD)
On October 30, 2018, the parties submitted two joint discovery letter briefs. Dkt. Nos.
14
406, 407. On November 2, 2018, the Court held a hearing on the disputes described in the letters.
15
Dkt. No. 412.
16
17
For the reasons stated on the record during the hearing, the Court makes the following
rulings on these disputes:
Google’s Motion to Compel Document (Dkt. No. 406)
18
1.
19
Mr. Cabrera represents that he has produced all documents reflecting any advice regarding
20
Internet advertising on the Google AdWords advertising platform. Google’s demand for all
21
documents relating to all advice Mr. Cabrera has given to his own advertising and consulting
22
clients—regardless of whether that advice relates to the AdWords advertising platform at issue in
23
this case—seeks discovery that is neither relevant to any claim or defense in this case, nor
24
proportional to the needs of this case. Google’s motion to compel further production for
25
documents relating to Mr. Cabrera’s advice to his clients is denied.
26
Mr. Cabrera also represents that he no longer has within his possession, custody, or control
27
lists of his in-person training customers from a business he sold in 2009. Google has not pointed
28
to any plausible evidence suggesting that this is not the case. Google’s motion to compel
1
production of a customer list is denied.
Mr. Cabrera’s Motion to Compel Click Data (Dkt. No. 407)
2
2.
3
At a recess during the hearing, and at the Court’s direction, counsel for the parties
4
conferred regarding Google’s production of “click data” for Mr. Cabrera. When the hearing
5
resumed, counsel for Mr. Cabrera read into the record certain matters that reflected the parties’
6
tentative resolution of this dispute.
Counsel for Google must confer with Google to confirm that Google’s production of click
7
8
data is complete, consistent with Mr. Cabrera’s counsel’s recitation on the record during the
9
hearing.1 Google must file a declaration of counsel no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday,
November 5, 2018 confirming that the production is, in fact, complete. If the production is not
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California
10
complete, Google must immediately notify Mr. Cabrera. If the matter is not thereafter
12
immediately resolved, the parties shall so advise the Court, and the Court will issue a decision on
13
the motion to compel.
14
The Court takes this matter under submission, pending further proceedings outlined above.
15
IT IS SO ORDERED.
