STIPULATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES AND TRAVELPORT
REGARDING TRAVELPORT’S MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
AND FOR SANCTIONS (DOC. 229) AND AMERICAN’S MOTION TO
COMPEL TRAVEPORT’S PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS (DOC. 280)
On April 10, 2012, the Court issued two orders relating to the Travelport Defendants’
Motion to Compel Discovery and for Sanctions (Doc. 229) (“Travelport’s Motion”) and Plaintiff
American Airlines, Inc.’s Motion to Compel Travelport’s Production of Documents (Doc. 280)
(“American’s Motion,” and with Travelport’s Motion, the “Motions”). The Order relating to
Travelport’s Motion (Doc. 292) required American to produce all documents and information
that it planned to produce in response to Travelport’s Motion to Compel no later than April 20,
2012. The Order relating to American’s Motion (Doc. 293) required the parties to confer and
make a good faith effort to resolve the discovery dispute no later than April 20, 2012. The
parties, having met and conferred repeatedly regarding these Motions, hereby agree and stipulate
as follows:
1.

Travelport and American have resolved the vast majority of the issues raised by
their respective Motions. For the limited issues that have not been resolved,
Travelport and American have reached agreement in principle and have made

various commitments, but the parties still have to produce documents or data as
promised.1
2.

Accordingly, Travelport and American presently do not have any dispute related
to either Travelport’s Motion or American’s Motion. Nonetheless, to the extent
either Travelport or American does not live up to its respective commitments, the
parties reserve their rights to raise the issue with the Court and seek relief on an
expedited basis. The parties agree that they will work in good faith to provide all
documents, data, or software access as contemplated herein by May 1, 2012.

Dated: April 24, 2012

Respectfully Submitted,
