IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ABBYY SOFTWARE HOUSE, ET AL., 

Defendants.

AND ALL RELATED CASES.

 /

No. C 08-02912 JSW

ORDER RE MOTION FOR RELIEF

FROM NONDISPOSITIVE

PRETRIAL ORDER

On December 10, 2012, Plaintiff Nuance Communications, Inc. filed a motion for relief

from nondispositive pretrial order of Magistrate Judge James re Plaintiff’s motion for discovery

abuse sanctions. The Court GRANTS the relief sought by Nuance for an extension of eight

weeks for discovery limited to the discrete issues relating to the ABBYY Defendants’ later

production and requires the ABBYY Defendants to timely re-produce relevant witnesses. 

Should Nuance require further time for complete discovery, it may renew its request. This

extension of time for full discovery obviates the need for preclusion sanctions. However,

should the ABBYY Defendants fail to comply with requests in a timely manner, the Court will

revisit the issue of preclusion sanctions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 2, 2013
