March 6, 2012 Filing 91 Minute Entry for telephonic Discovery Dispute Conference held before Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams on 3/6/2012. Appearing for Plaintiffs: Aaron Zigler; for Defendant: Matthew Brown, Jeffrey Gutkin, and Charles Swartwout. Defendant, pursuant to the current protective order, is ordered to produce six depositions (of plaintiffs and plaintiffs' parents) from the Fraley case no later than 3/15/2012. Defendant shall give notice of the instant order to the Fraley plaintiffs, who will have until 3/13/2012 to object to this order. The Court overruled Defendant's objection to producing a 30(b)(6) deponent as to Topic 2 of Plaintiff's Notice of Deposition. However, the scope of the deposition will be limited to the genesis of, and the decision-making process concerning, Facebook's practice of collecting information through a user's act of liking content as it relates to use of a user's name or profile pictures for any advertising generally, to include sponsored stories or social ads; including the people involved in the decisionmaking process and the facts, goals and policies considered in undertaking, continuing or modifying Facebook's practice of collecting information through a user's act of liking content. Also regarding the 30(b)(6) deposition notice, the Court sustained Defendant's objections (on grounds of overbreadth) to Topic 4 and Topic 5. The parties informed the Court that they agree to various other issues, and will inform the Court as to remaining disputes in advance of the discovery dispute conference set for 3/16/2012.
