NOTICE OF RULING AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

15-cv-03449-RMW (HRLx)

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:

On May 13, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom 6 of the United States District Court for the 

Northern District of California, San Jose Division, the Further Case Management Conference in 

the above-captioned matter of Artec Group, Inc. v. Andrey Klimov, et al. came before the Court, 

the Hon. Ronald M. Whyte presiding. Louise Ann Fernandez and Benjamin Davidson (via Court 

Call) appeared on behalf of Plaintiff Artec Group, Inc. Oly Filatova appeared on behalf of 

Defendants Andrey Klimov, Yulia Klimova, Anna Stebleva, A-Star LLC, and ID-Wise SIA

(“Defendants”). No appearance was entered on behalf of Defendant Axon Business Systems, LLC 

(“Axon”).

The Court ordered as follows:

1. Plaintiff shall serve Axon within 45 days.

2. In the interim, the Court set the following discovery requirements1:

a. Plaintiff is to provide Defendants with all documents pursuant to the 

disclosure rules, which include: (i) any agreements and formation agreements alleged in the 

complaint and any agreement with Axon2; (ii) an itemization of alleged damages (disclosed in 

good faith but not binding on Plaintiff), which shall set forth types of damages and parameters of 

appropriate damages and amount thereof; (iii) any insurance policies and, if no insurance policies 

exist then a declaration shall be filed by Plaintiff’s representative stating no insurance policies 

exist; and (iv) Any contracts Plaintiff claims it lost.

b. Defendants shall provide to Plaintiff (i) any documents which reference 

Trade Secrets listed in Plaintiff’s Identification of Trade Secrets filed under seal on April 4, 2016;

 

1 Parties have agreed in correspondence that all documents pursuant to Sections 2(a) and 

(b) shall be produced no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 8, 2016.

2 Defendants have stated in correspondence that Section 2(a)(i) should read “any 

agreements and correspondence regarding formation of agreements alleged in the complaint and 

any agreement with Axon.” Plaintiff does not believe this is reflected by the Minute Entry. 

However, Plaintiff has offered to agree to this revision if Defendants agree to produce “any 

contracts and correspondence related to contracts Defendants have as to former customers of 

Artec” (Section 2(b)(ii)). Defendants have not agreed to this proposal.

(ii) any documents pertaining to the formation of allegedly competing entities; and (iii) any 

contracts Defendants have as to former customers of Artec, with the agreement that if such 

documents(s) cannot be produced then Defendants shall provide Plaintiff with information such as 

a privilege log why the document(s) cannot be produced;

c. No depositions shall be taken until Defendant Axon is in the case.

3. The Court ordered that the parties shall submit a further Joint Discovery Plan prior 

to the next case management conference. The plan shall provide a list of the depositions the 

parties wish to take, which shall include the individual’s name, description of the scope of the 

information to obtain (most knowledgeable information) and the reason for taking the deposition, 

and any further written discovery the parties wish to do. The Joint Discovery Plan shall include 

the agreed upon discovery and, alternative paragraphs providing the discovery not agreed upon, so
