Case No. C 13-05996 PJH (SK)

Defendant.

Judge: Honorable Phyllis J. Hamilton

Having considered Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Production of Documents (“Motion”), all

20

materials submitted in support thereof, and other records on file, the Court hereby GRANTS the

21

Motion, and FINDS as follows:

22

1.

Plaintiffs request that Facebook produce documents identified through further

23

document searches using Plaintiffs’ proposed search terms and custodians reflected in Appendix

24

A to Plaintiffs’ Motion. These terms relate to functionalities at issue in the claims articulated in

25

Court’s class certification ruling (Dkt. 192, “Cert. Order”) and Plaintiffs’ Second Amended

26

Complaint (Dkt. 196, “SAC”).

27
28

2.

These keyword terms directly relate to Plaintiffs’ claims and are proportional to

the needs of the case, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1).

CASE NO. 13-CV-05996-PJH (SK)

1

3.

Additionally, Plaintiffs’ proposed set of term-specific, keyword proximity limiting

2

terms—also identified in Exhibit A to Plaintiffs’ Motion—further narrows the scope of document

3

production, and satisfy the requirement of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2) that discovery requests not be

4

overly burdensome or disproportionate.

5

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS as follows:

6

1.

Facebook shall produce documents identified through further document searches

7

using Plaintiffs’ proposed search terms and custodians reflected in Appendix A to Plaintiffs’

8

Motion.

9

2.

The document searches shall utilize the keyword proximity limiting terms

identified in Exhibit A of Plaintiffs’ Motion.
3.

The document searches shall be conducted for all custodians identified in Exhibit

12

A to Plaintiffs’ Motion. Facebook shall further make a good faith effort to identify—and to

13

conduct document searches for—any additional custodians in possession of relevant documents.

14
15

4.

Facebook shall conduct all searches and produce all documents within thirty days

of the entry of this Order.

It is so ORDERED.
