Hi Rachel,

any time on December 5 or 6, with a preference for the 6th, and also could be available on December 7
before noon or after 3pm Pacific.

We also advised you of our planned schedule on shortened time for any motion(s) to compel that may be necessary
if the meet and confer does not resolve the issues on the agenda:
Motions to compel: Thursday, December 8
Opposition briefs: Monday, December 12
Reply briefs: Wednesday, December 14
Hearing: Friday, December 16
We also advised you that Judge Grewal is out beginning on December 17 through December 26, and you advised
that Quinn is unavailable the week after Christmas. We therefore need this motion is heard on or before December
16. That requires the lead trial counsel meet-and-confer to take place on one of the three days provided -December 5, 6, or 7.
Which of the three days we provided will work for Mr. Verhoeven, and what are his windows of availability on those
dates? Please advise immediately. Thanks.
