UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

H., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

BRENTWOOD UNIFIED SCHOOL 

DISTRICT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05461-VC 

ORDER RE DISCOVERY LETTER

Re: Dkt. No. 53

With respect to the discovery letter dated September 21, 2016 (Docket No. 53), the Court 

rules as follows:

The plaintiff's contention that information sought in Category Number 4 is not 

discoverable is without any justification. The motion to quash is therefore denied with respect to 

Category Number 4. Counsel for the plaintiff is ordered to file a brief by October 4, 2016, 

explaining why she should not be liable for costs and fees incurred by the defendant in 

responding to the position that the information in Category No. 4 is not discoverable. See Fed. 

R. Civ. Proc. 37(a)(5)(A). On the same day, the defendant should file a declaration setting forth 

the costs and fees incurred with respect to the dispute regarding Category Number 4.

With respect to the assertion of privilege, a hearing will take place on Tuesday, October 

11, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. The defendant shall file a supplemental brief on this question, not to 

exceed 10 pages, by September 30, 2016. The plaintiff shall file a supplemental response brief, 

not to exceed 10 pages, by October 4, 2016. The defendant may file a supplemental reply, not to 

exceed 5 pages, by October 7, 2016. If the Court concludes that the position of one side or the 

other is without substantial justification, it will shift fees and costs pursuant to Rule 37(a)(5)(A).
