IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID VAN SLYKE, FRANKLIN CHAN,

themselves and all others similarly situated, 

Plaintiffs,

 v.

CAPITAL ONE BANK, CAPITAL ONE

FINANCIAL CORPORATION, and DOES

1–100, inclusive,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-00671 WHA

ORDER GRANTING IN PART

AND DENYING IN PART

MOTION TO COMPEL AND

VACATING HEARING

The Court has received plaintiffs’ letter brief regarding the extant motion to compel, and

defendants’ opposition. No hearing is necessary. 

All depositions of witnesses shall be taken where they reside. 

Capital One must produce one exemplar of each grouping of credit card solicitations and

disclosures sent to any prospective customer within the limitations period. This shall be

accompanied by a declaration that sets forth when each exemplar was used, the number of

recipients, how many of those recipients then responded, and in what states. 

Capital One must produce all manuals and documents necessary to show the

circumstances and manner in which penalties and/or fees have been imposed, including the

extent to which “minimum payments” will leave unpaid balances still vulnerable to penalties

and fees. As with all items in this order, this is limited to the credit cards at issue, not all bankwide fees.

Capital One must produce such documents as will show how much revenue has been

generated from the fees in question, broken down by type of fee and year. Alternatively,

Capital One can supply a sworn interrogatory answer and defer the production of documents. 

Capital One must produce all consumer and governmental complaints and lawsuits over

the fairness of its fees within the limitations period. Capital One must produce all responses

thereto and produce all internal comments on the complaints and lawsuits. 

Capital One must produce all internal documents commenting on the adequacy and or

fairness of its notices concerning fees.

The foregoing must be produced WITHIN 14 CALENDAR DAYS. Please do not ask to

delay the production merely because other requests will be made and there will be subsequent

production. The rest of the requests are overbroad and burdensome as framed but the denial is

without prejudice to narrower requests. “Documents” includes computer-stored information. 

Privileged material timely logged need not be produced. 

The hearing scheduled on June 27, 2007, at 10:45 a.m. is hereby VACATED as

unnecessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 26, 2007.
