August 14, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 2547 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS - ORDER by Judge George H. Wu. Though the Court was open to continuing the Daubert discussions at the August 20, 2018 hearing, that was under the assumption the parties would submit what the Court had requested. If, in light of these parameters, Plaintiffs wish to exclude fewer excerpts that is of course their prerogative. Plaintiffs should submit this chart no later than Monday, August 20, 2018. Defendants will have until Monday, August 27, 2018 to respond. Plaintiffs will have until Friday, August 31, 2018 to reply. As such, at the August 20, 2018 hearing the Court will only discuss the Braithwaite's costs issue (which the Court believes can be resolved orally on the record) and the Court's general thoughts/leanings regarding the proffered jury instructions. The Court will likely continue the Daubert discussion on these specific excerpts at the September 6, 2018 hearing on motions in limine. See document for details. (lom)

July 10, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1193 MINUTE ORDER RE: Discovery Motions (Doc. Nos. 969, 972, 976) by Magistrate Judge Patrick J. Walsh: Before the Court are three discovery motions, #969 , #972 , #976 . For the following reasons, the motions are granted in part and denied in part.Defendant J-M Manufacturing Company seeks a protective order to prevent Plaintiffs from deposing J-M customer Aqua Water Supply Corp. and from obtaining documents from Aqua. (Doc. No. 969.) Defendant argues that Plaintiffs are seeking to conduct discovery beyond the limits set by the Court in the Bifurcation Order, which limits the first-phase of the trial to five exemplar Plaintiffs. (Doc. No. 551.) Plaintiffs argue that both sides have taken numerous depositions of third parties thus far and that no party has ever interpreted the Bifurcation Order to preclude third-party discovery or to limit discovery to the exemplar Plaintiffs. (Joint Stip. at 4-5.) The Court agrees with Plaintiffs. For that reason, Defendant's motion is denied. (See document for complete details) (ca)

June 6, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 1015 MINUTE ORDER RE: Discovery Motions (Doc. Nos. 943, 969, 972, 976) by Magistrate Judge Patrick J. Walsh: Before the Court are four motions to compel discovery. (Doc. Nos. 943, 969, 972, 976.) For the following reasons, the motions are granted in part and denied in part. Defendant J-M Manufacturing moves to be relieved from admissions propounded by Plaintiff Castaic Lake Water Agency that were deemed admitted because Defendant did not respond on time, #943 . That motion is granted. The remaining three motions deal with depositions, either new depositions or follow-up depositions. (Doc. Nos. 969, 972, 976.) All three were filed after the discovery cut-off date. (Doc. No. 766.) The magistrate judge does not have authority to extend this date. This is particularly so in this case, which was filed more than seven years ago and in which the discovery cut-off date has been extended five times. (Doc. Nos. 1, 315, 498, 672, 727, 737, 766.) Though it is clear that the parties agreed in a stipulation not to raise the cut-off in future discovery motions, the magistrate judge was not a party to that agreement or the resulting order. (Doc. No. 902.) If the parties wish to conduct depositions at this stage of the case, they must first seek permission from the district judge to do so. **SEE DOCUMENT FOR FULL AND COMPLETE DETIALS** (ca)

Walsh: Defendant J-M Manufacturing moves to compel South Tahoe Public Utility Districts Rule 30(b)(6) designee to return to his deposition and respond to questions about a retainer agreement entered into between South Tahoe, Phillips & Cohen LLP, and Day Pitney LLP. (Joint Stipulation ("JS") at 1.) J-M claims the questions relating to the retainer agreement are relevant to prove South Tahoe's true incentives for joining this litigation. (JS at 1.) The Court recently held that Plaintiffs need not answer interrogatories about their decision to join this lawsuit. (Doc. No. 794.) Further, South Tahoe has morethan 100,000 feet of J-M pipe in the ground, has already had at least one pipe failure, and has suffered substantial financial loss. (JS at 5.) Thus, South Tahoe motivations for joining this litigation are not in question and J-M's request is denied as unlikely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1), #822 .
