Civ. Action No. 2:11-cv-512

PLAINTIFF I/P ENGINE’S MOTION TO SHORTEN
GOOGLE’S TIME TO RESPOND TO I/P ENGINE’S MOTION TO COMPEL
DEFENDANT GOOGLE INC.’S CUSTODIAL DOCUMENT PRODUCTION
Plaintiff I/P Engine, Inc. (“I/P Engine”) moves to shorten Google’s time to respond to I/P
Engine’s Motion to Compel Defendant Google Inc.’s Custodial Document Production.
I/P Engine, Inc. (“I/P Engine”) served its initial document requests upon Defendant
Google Inc. (“Google”) more than six months ago, on November 7, 2011. On April 9, 2012,
Google for the first time identified a target date for the production of those documents: June 15,
2012 – more than eight months after service of I/P Engine’s document requests. Google’s
delays, and its proposed production date, are unreasonable, reflect a disregard for discovery
procedures in this judicial district, and create tremendous prejudice for I/P Engine. I/P Engine’s
Motion to Compel requests relief from the Court to address these delays and time is of the
essence.
In an effort to expedite the briefing process for I/P Engine’s Motion to Compel and for
the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff I/P Engine’s
Motion to Shorten Google’s Time to Respond to I/P Engine’s Motion to Compel, I/P Engine

DSMDB-3049035v1

respectfully requests this Court require Google to respond to I/P Engine’s Motion to Compel on
or before April 18, 2012.
