UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

STEVEN PRESCOTT,

Plaintiff,

v.

RECKITT BENCKISER LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 20-cv-02101-BLF (VKD)

ORDER RE DEFENDANT’S 

DOCUMENT REQUESTS NOS. 54 AND 

55

Re: Dkt. No. 55

Plaintiff Steven Prescott and defendant Reckitt Benckiser LLC (“RB”) ask the Court to 

resolve their dispute concerning RB’s Requests for Production Nos. 54 and 55 to Mr. Prescott. 

Dkt. No. 55. Specifically, RB seeks the production of all depositions in which Mr. Prescott was 

deposed as a plaintiff in a putative class action in other cases involving false advertising claims in 

the past 10 years, and all of his written discovery responses in such cases. Id. at 2. The Court held 

a hearing on November 10, 2020. Dkt. No. 59. 

For the reasons stated on the record, the Court denies RB’s request for this discovery at 

this time on the ground that RB fails to articulate any basis for its assertion that this discovery is 

likely to yield any information relevant to whether Mr. Prescott is an adequate class representative 

in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
