Case No.: 5:13-CV-05658 LHK

The Court held an initial case management conference on July 9, 2014. A further case
management conference is scheduled for October 22, 2014, at 2:00 p.m.
The Court ruled that Plaintiffs can produce ESI in the format it was originally produced in
the prior trade secret litigation, but Defendants have the right to request production of a reasonable
number, if any, of key documents in their original format with metadata.
The Court ruled that privileged documents are to be logged by document, not categories.
Documents created after August 31, 2013 need not be logged. Any settlement demands and related
documents between August 16, 2012 and August 31, 2012 are not privileged and must be
produced. However, the parties will brief their dispute before Magistrate Judge Grewal regarding
the scope of the mediation privilege as to their mediation statements and statements made at the
August 15, 2012 mediation.
