No. C-13-3440 EMC

ORDER RE BIRNER’S MOTION FOR

RECONSIDERATION

Objector Alexander Birner has filed a motion for reconsideration of this Court’s Order

denying his motion to continue the final approval hearing so that he could review discovery for the

purpose of learning whether he is actually a class member. Docket No. 153 at 19 n. 5. Birner asks

the Court to compel class counsel and Defendants to provide additional discovery (e.g., a deposition

of Karen Levine) and to complete productions already made (e.g., provide the passwords to certain

protected documents). Class counsel and attorneys for the Defendants are hereby ORDERED to

file a response to Birner’s motion for reconsideration within ten (10) days of the date of this Order. 

The response shall be no longer than seven (7) pages in length. No reply brief will be permitted. 

In their response, class counsel and Defendants shall explain why Birner should not be

permitted to receive additional discovery targeted specifically to his standing (i.e. status) as a

potential class member, and why class counsel or Defendants should not be required to provide

unredacted versions of documents already produced and the passwords to documents already

produced. Alternatively,
