Plaintiff, KEVIN KEITHLEY moves for an order to compel the production of Website 

Documents, pursuant to Request Nos. 5-11, in Plaintiff’s First Set of Document Requests, and 

Request Nos. 39-56, in Plaintiff’s Second Set of Document Requests. Plaintiff also moves for an

the Second Set of Document Requests. The Court held a hearing on Plaintiff’s motions on 

December 12, 2006. Scott R. Mosko and Robert F. McCauley appeared on behalf of Plaintiff. 

Bruce Rose appeared on behalf of Defendants. After reviewing the moving, opposition and reply 

papers and after conducting the hearing on this motion, the Court makes its Order as follows: 

I. THE WEBSITE DOCUMENTS 

 Plaintiff’s motion regarding Requests seeking website documents is GRANTED. Regarding 

those Requests calling for the production of source code, within a reasonable time after the date of 

this Order, Defendants shall serve a report and/or index from all their Source Code Control Systems 

that details all projects, directory structures, documents (including source code files) for each 

accused service and/or Homestore Website as defined in the Requests at issue during the timeframes 

from initial check-in of website documents to the present. The report shall include any project or 

product release labeling, version numbering, or other forms of tagging maintained by the Source 

Code Control System along with any textual description of the release label, version number, or tag 

and its associated date. The report shall also include descriptive material sufficient to identify the 

functionality implemented by the source-code files and any other source-code entities. If portions of 

the Defendant’s source code are not under the control of a Source Code Control System, then 

Defendants shall prepare a report and/or index as described above by other means. Similarly, if the 

Defendants’ Source Code Control System provides inadequate support for producing all or portions 

of the report and/or index described above, then Defendants shall prepare such report and/or index 

using other means in addition to those provided by the Source Code Control System. Plaintiff will 

then identify what source code it requests. Within a reasonable time of receiving the request from 

Plaintiff, Defendants will produce its source code. Defendants have communicated with Plaintiff 

that they will attempt to complete this production by the end of December, 2006.

 Regarding the actual production of source code, it shall be produced to Plaintiff on one or 

more DVDs along with the necessary keys that will enable its access. These DVDs shall be 

maintained by Plaintiff’s counsel or Plaintiff’s experts in a locked box when not in use. This source 

code shall be loaded only on a non-networked, stand alone computer under the control of Plaintiff’s 

counsel or experts. Any printouts from the DVD shall be labeled CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE 

CODE – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY, and the DVD and printouts shall be returned to Defendants’ 

counsel at the end of this action.

do not call for source code is GRANTED. The parties represent that they have conferred after the 

hearing regarding these Requests. Defendants have stated to Plaintiff that they are in the process of 

gathering for production all business requirements documents and development methodology

as they initially existed to the present. These documents will include all writings that describe the 

websites’ and products’ functionality, design and how they were implemented. Defendants will use 

their best efforts to produce these documents by December 31, 2006. 

Regarding each of the databases within or utilized by any of Defendants’ websites or 

products since their inception to the present, Defendants have agreed to search for and produce all 

documents that define the detailed type, format and structure of the data stored within said databases 

(commonly referred to as a database schema). Additionally, Defendants have agreed to search for 

and produce all documents related to user authentication, unique user identifiers, their storage and 

use in any data store and their use by any and all components of any of their websites or products 

from their initial existence to the present. Defendants will use their best efforts to produce these 

documents by December 31, 2006. 

Plaintiff will review this production and will further communicate with Defendants in the 

event this production is incomplete.
