LOOP AI LABS INC,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANNA GATTI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00798-HSG (DMR)

ORDER RE ALMAWAVE'S 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION FOR 

SANCTIONS RE DOCUMENTS 

WITHHELD AS PRIVILEGED

Re: Dkt. No. 715

The court has received Defendant Almawave USA, Inc.’s (“Almawave”) administrative 

motion regarding Plaintiff Loop AI Labs Inc.’s failure to comply with the court’s May 13, 2016 

order in which the court ordered Plaintiff to produce documents withheld on grounds of attorneyclient privilege and work product protection by a date certain (Docket No. 680). [Docket No. 

715.] In its administrative motion, Almawave seeks either the issuance of an order to show cause 

why terminating sanctions should not be imposed for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the May 

13, 2016 order or leave to file a unilateral letter brief seeking such relief. 

Plaintiff filed a timely opposition to Almawave’s administrative motion. [Docket No. 

725.] In its opposition, Plaintiff does not dispute its failure to comply with the May 13, 2016 

order. It notes that it has petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for 

mandamus review of the May 13, 2016 order and asks the court to “grant it at least the ability to 

have its petition reviewed by the Ninth Circuit before entertaining any further motions on the 

[May 13, 2016 order].” Id. at 1. By no later than July 8, 2016, Plaintiff shall file a one-page letter

simply identifying authority for the position that petitioning for a writ of mandamus to a United 

States Court of Appeals has the effect of staying a party’s duty to comply with the order that is the 

subject of the writ of mandamus. Plaintiff’s letter shall not contain any argument. By no later 

than July 13, 2016, Almawave shall file a one-page response in which it identifies any contrary
