September 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 128 ORAL ORDER: The Court, having reviewed Plaintiff CareDx, Inc.'s ("Plaintiff") discovery-related motion ("Motion"), (D.I. #122 ), the briefing related thereto, (D.I. 123; D.I. 125), and having heard argument on the Motion on September 14, 2020, hereby ORDERS as follows: (1) With regard to the dispute about Defendant Natera, Inc.s ("Defendant") failure to produce certain responsive documents post-dating the filing of the Complaint, (D.I. 123 at 1-2; D.I. 125 at 1-2), the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion. The Court agrees with Plaintiff that Defendant's responsive documents, including e-mail post-dating the Complaint, will likely be relevant in this case for the reasons Plaintiff suggests. (D.I. 123 at 1) To the extent that Defendant argues that the scope of the production is of a magnitude that would make it unduly burdensome to produce all requested documents, (D.I. 125 at 2), Defendant has not provided the Court with a sufficient record to deny the Motion on that ground. The Court also agrees with Plaintiff that any objection Defendant made to producing such documents during the discovery period was both vague and in violation of Rule 34(b)(2)(C). (D.I. 123 at 2); see also CapRate Events, LLC v. Knobloch, No. 17-CV-5907-NGG-SJB, 2018 WL 4378167, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 18, 2018). And under the circumstances of the case, including the significant amount of case-related activity that was occurring during the timeframe between June and August 2020 and the lack of clarity over what type of post-April 2019 documents were in Defendant's original production, the Court cannot say that Plaintiff demonstrated a lack of diligence in raising this issue. (D.I. 125 at 2) Therefore, Defendant shall produce the requested documents by no later than October 23, 2020, and shall do so on a rolling basis to the extent practicable.; (2) With regard to Plaintiff's request that Defendant produce certain "Milestone" presentations in entirely unreacted form, (D.I. 123 at 2-3; D.I. 125 at 2), the Motion is DENIED. Defendant's counsel has represented that the redacted portions of these documents contain only "sensitive information about new products unrelated to this case." (D.I. 125 at 2) Having reviewed the documents, the Court has no basis to question Defendant's counsel's representation, and therefore, based on this record, will deny the request.; (3) With regard to Plaintiff's request for a deposition of Defendant's Chief Executive Officer Steve Chapman, (D.I. 123 at 3; D.I. 125 at 3), the request is DENIED. One of the bases for Plaintiff's request is that Defendant's Rule 30(b)(6) witness was not prepared for his original deposition on Topic No. 32, but Defendant correctly notes that pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6), Defendant can choose who it designates for such a deposition (and that Defendant intends to designate another employee). (D.I. 125 at 3) To the extent that Plaintiff argues that Mr. Chapman should be deposed because he has unique knowledge about the approval process for Prospera marketing materials, (D.I. 123 at 3), the record does not clearly indicate that Mr. Chapman's knowledge on that score is unique, (id., ex. A at 30-31). Finally, to the extent that Plaintiff argues that Mr. Chapman has unique knowledge about a February 8, 2019 e-mail that he sent, (id. at 3), the Court agrees that he does and that the e-mail appears very relevant to the case. But the e-mail was produced to Plaintiff on June 12, 2020, and the time period for arranging and taking such depositions has ended; the Court does not find good cause to reopen the deposition period in this regard. (D.I. 125 at 3) Ordered by Judge Christopher J. Burke on 9/16/2020. (mlc)

With its Motion, Defendant seeks to move the trial date in this case by seven months. But the Court is not convinced, based on the record currently before it, that the trial date (and associated pre-trial deadlines) must be moved. The trial date that the Court picked in this case was in the same month (March 2021) as was requested by Defendant (a date that was three months later than the trial date requested by Plaintiff). (D.I. 29, ex. A at 14) In its letter brief, most of the issues Defendant cites as being reasons why the trial date must move are issues that either could have been anticipated to occur in a case like this (i.e., that Defendant later filed counterclaims, or that Defendant's experts might need to employ a survey, or about the pressures raised by the general contours of the schedule), or are issues that haven't been shown to have actually impacted the pre-trial schedule so far (i.e., COVID-19). The fact that no depositions have yet occurred (with the fact discovery deadline of August 14, 2020 approaching) is a concern, but it is not clear to the Court that the parties cannot complete the needed depositions in a timely-enough fashion (perhaps with the need to have some of those depositions take place after August 14) to keep the case on track for trial in March 2021. The Court also ORDERS that the parties: (1) further meet and confer to set dates for all fact depositions in a timely fashion and to discuss whether certain of such depositions may need to occur after August 14; and (2) file a status report letter of no more than three (3) single-spaced pages by August 7, 2020 providing their respective views on the state of fact discovery. Ordered by Judge Christopher J. Burke on 7/21/2020. (dlb)

October 22, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 20 ORAL ORDER Setting Hearing on Motion (9 in 1:19-cv-00567-CFC) MOTION to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim : The Court, having reviewed the parties' and Eurofins Viracor, Inc.'s recent letters to Judge Connolly, (Civil Action No. 19-567, D.I. 28-32), HEREBY ORDERS that the oral argument scheduled for October 30, 2019 on the Section 101 motion to dismiss, (Civil Action No. 19-567, D.I. 9), is rescheduled for 11/20/2019 at 01:00 PM in Courtroom 2A before Judge Christopher J. Burke. The Court anticipates that if the Section 101 motion to dismiss filed in related Civil Action No. 19-1804, (Civil Action No. 19-1804, D.I. 6), is hereafter referred to the Court, it will then include argument on that motion in the November 20, 2019 hearing.
