IN RE:

LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ANTITRUST 

LITIGATION

Case No. 13-md-02420-YGR (DMR)

ORDER ON JOINT DISCOVERY 

LETTER RE IPPS’ COMPLIANCE 

WITH ESI PROTOCOL

Re: Dkt. No. 1169

Defendants and Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs (“IPPs”) filed a joint discovery letter brief on 

March 21, 2016 in which Defendants seek an order compelling the IPPs to re-produce documents 

in compliance with the parties’ ESI Protocol, including production of metadata. [Docket No. 

1169.] The matter is set for a hearing before the undersigned on April 28, 2016. 

In their portion of the joint letter, the IPPs explain that they “anticipate full production of 

documents with applicable metadata by April 25, 2016 absent unforeseen circumstances.” Id. at 4. 

Therefore, it does not appear that a live dispute will remain after April 25, 2016. Accordingly, by 

12:00 p.m. on April 22, 2016, the parties shall file a joint letter advising the court whether any 

disputes raised in the March 21, 2016 letter remain ripe for resolution and whether a hearing on 

the matter on April 28, 2016 is necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 20, 2016
