MANDEEP GOSAL,

Plaintiff,

v.

SAVE MART SUPERMARKETS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.16-cv-00601-CRB (JSC)

ORDER RE: DISCOVERY DISPUTES

Re: Dkt. Nos. 44 & 52

This action has been referred to the undersigned magistrate judge for discovery. On 

December 15, 2016, the Court held a hearing regarding the pending discovery letter briefs. (Dkt. 

Nos. 44 & 52.) This Order confirms the rulings of the Court with respect to the issues raised in 

these discovery letter briefs.

Plaintiff’s motion to compel documents responsive to Request for the Production of 

Documents No. 65 is denied. Defendants confirmed their position that any responsive documents 

are privileged and thus inadmissible and Defendants have produced a privilege log identifying 

these documents. To the extent that Plaintiff disputes the adequacy of the log and/or whether any 

particular documents identified on the log are in fact privileged, the parties shall meet and confer 

and file a joint discovery letter brief as necessary.

Defendants’ motion to compel Plaintiff’s further deposition is denied for the reasons stated 

on the record. 

Defendants’ motion to compel production of Plaintiff’s cell phone is granted in part. 

Plaintiff shall produce her phone and the mirror-image copy of her phone from April 2016 directly 

to Defendants’ forensic expert who shall review the two items to determine: (1) whether it 

contains any audio recordings relevant to this litigation, and (2) whether it has been wiped. The
