REPLY by Plaintiff Dominique Freeman to motion to amend/correct,, #80 (Kilpela, Edwin)
|

Filing 92
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Defendant's unopposed motion #87 to seal certain exhibits is granted provisionally. The Court will again review the propriety of sealing when evaluating the underlying motion. Emailed notice (mw, )

Filing 91
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: On review of the parties' joint status report (doc. #90 ), the Court sets the date for the parties' class and merits expert disclosures at 1/20/23 by agreement. Further, deposition of disclosed experts must take place within 60 days of disclosure, so that all expert discovery closes on 3/21/23. The parties' agreed schedule for the litigation of class certification and Daubert motions appears reasonable to the magistrate judge, who defers ruling to the district court, as those matters are outside the scope of referral. The next joint status report on discovery progress is due by noon on 3/14/23. Mailed notice. (jj, )

Filing 79
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court has reviewed the separate status reports the parties filed (doc. #s #77 , #78 ) in contravention of the Court's order (doc. #76 ) for a joint status report. Reviewing the parties' information in a single document would have conserved judicial resources, and ordinarily, the Court would strike the reports and order the filing of a joint report forthwith, but given the late stage of the discovery phase of these proceedings, the Court will simply proceed in the interest of efficiency. Defendant claims that plaintiff made a joint report impossible because she "inappropriately sought to raise new issues" after the close of fact discovery (doc. #78 ), but that disagreement easily could have been flagged in a joint report. The parties kindly are requested to try harder next time to comply with the joint report requirement. In any event, the reports evince a disagreement between the parties about whether previously open fact discovery issues have been resolved. The Court resolves that dispute by declaring fact discovery to have closed on schedule on 9/2/22. Additionally, though, the supplemental "retailer sales" and "labels" production that defendant promised (doc. #78 ) must be produced by 5 p.m. on 9/15/22. Further fact discovery at this point may be conducted only on motion establishing good cause and filed after compliance with Local Rule 37.2, including on the issue of the scope of follow-up data noted in Paragraph 2(b) of plaintiff's status report (doc. #77 ). If that disagreement cannot be resolved, any such motion for further must be filed no later than 5 p.m. on 9/20/22. Also, the Court has understood the remaining "fact" discovery in this matter to concern certification propriety and the merits of the individual Plaintiff's claims. A final joint status report is due by noon on 9/20/22 on the closure of such discovery and whether the parties anticipate or propose any other type of discovery including expert. If no further discovery is anticipated and no motion to extend discovery is presented, the magistrate judge expects to terminate the referral. Mailed notice (lp, )

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, R. 40, the parties supplemented their written discovery and ESI discovery has begun, with the Defendant aiming to finish a rolling production by 11/12/2021. With the 01/21/2022 fact discovery deadline on certification propriety and the merits of the individual Plaintiff's claims, the parties shall file a Deposition Scheduling Report by 12/20/2021. The report shall list the depositions already taken and (more importantly) the remaining deponents, all of whom must have ***confirmed*** deposition dates (not just proposed dates). Any person not on that Report will presumptively not be deposed without good cause (e.g., genuine surprise despite due diligence). If deponents are slow in confirming deposition dates, the parties should use the Report deadline to urge each other and non-parties to provide confirmed dates to avoid a motion to compel in advance of the deadline. The tracking status hearing of 10/08/2021 is reset to 01/07/2022 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).

ANSWER to Complaint MAM USA Corporation's Answer to Class Action Complaint by MAM USA Corporation(Becker, David)
|
|
Filing 33
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, R. 32, it is sensible to start class-certification-propriety fact discovery as the parties propose, but the Court also prefers to start fact discovery on the merits of the **named** Plaintiff's claims too (not everyone in the proposed class, just the named Plaintiff). If the parties believe that there is a problem with that, then they may file a motion to adjust the schedule and explain in detail the problem. Otherwise, the Court adopts the proposal. MAM's answer is due by 04/20/2021.. Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures due 04/30/2021. The first round of written discovery requests must be issued by 05/15/2021. The fact discovery deadline on class-certification-propriety and the merits of the individual Plaintiff's claims is 01/21/2022. The tracking status hearing of 04/09/2021 is reset to 07/09/2021 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the parties shall file a discovery progress report by 07/01/2021 (by which time the parties should have answered, or at least begun answering, the first-round of written discovery requests).

MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang. For the reasons stated in the Opinion, the Defendant's motion to dismiss #21 is granted in part and denied in part. The claims for injunctive relief (under the Fraud Act and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act) are dismissed for lack of Article III standing. But the claims for money damages under the Fraud Act and other states' consumer-protection statutes, as well as the claims for breach of warranty and unjust enrichment, all survive the motion to dismiss. The parties shall confer and file a joint initial status report, R. 9, setting forth a proposed discovery schedule, by 04/01/2021. The tracking status hearing of 03/26/2021 is reset to 04/09/2021 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).
