Case No. 5:14-cv-03750-PSG
ORDER RE: DISCOVERY DISPUTE
(Re: Docket Nos. 208, 209)

Defendants SOLiD, Inc. and Reach Holdings LLC seek a protective order appointing a
17
discovery referee at Plaintiff Corning Optical Communications Wireless Ltd.’s expense to oversee
18
all remaining depositions of Defendants’ witnesses. Defendants base this request on Corning’s
19
counsel’s conduct in several depositions. Corning, in turn, justifies counsel’s conduct on the
20
grounds that Defendants’ witnesses were ill-prepared and were unwilling or unable to answer his
21
questions.
22
To avoid further issues in the future, Corning shall take its depositions of SOLiD’s CFO
23
Byeong Jin Kim and CEO Seung Hee Lee in the court’s jury room. The undersigned will make
24
himself available to resolve any disputes. The parties shall make all necessary arrangements by
25
contacting the undersigned’s courtroom deputy, Oscar Rivera.
