SYNOPSYS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ATOPTECH, INC,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-02965-MMC (DMR)

ORDER RE: DEPOSITION OF STEVEN 

MEIER; REQUESTING RESPONSE 

FROM ATOPTECH

Re: Dkt. No. 775

On June 27, 2016, Synopsys filed a unilateral discovery letter seeking to quash a subpoena 

that purports to set a June 28, 2016 deposition for Mr. Steven Meier. [Docket No. 775.] 

Synopsys contends that the deposition subpoena is invalid, and also violates the court’s scheduling 

order, which set a June 30, 2015 discovery deadline for the copyright portion of the case. 

ATopTech is hereby ordered to file a response of no more than two pages by 5:00 p.m. on 

June 28, 2016. 

The deposition of Steven Meier shall not go forward until the court resolves this dispute. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 27, 2016
