ORDER RE: DISCOVERY

Re: Dkt. No. 38

On March 10, 2016, defendant/counterclaimant OptiRev, LLC filed an individual 

statement regarding a discovery dispute. OptiRev requests permission to file a motion to compel 

the production of various documents, such as all copyright registration applications and 

registrations relating to the subject matter of this litigation. OptiRev states that it has repeatedly 

requested these documents from VinterActive, and that VinterActive states that the documents are 

in the possession of its former counsel and that VinterActive has requested the documents from its 

former counsel. In lieu of the requested documents, VinterActive has produced printouts from the 

Copyright Office website, which OptiRev contends are incomplete. According to OptiRev,

The Court's standing order provides that in the event that parties are not able to file a joint 

statement regarding a discovery dispute, each side may file a brief individual statement. As of 

March 15, 2016, VinterActive has not filed an individual statement.

The Court GRANTS OptiRev's request for permission to file a motion to compel and to
