United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MATTHEW CAMPBELL, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

FACEBOOK INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-05996-PJH (MEJ)

ORDER DENYING TELEPHONIC 

DISCOVERY CONFERENCE

REQUEST WITHOUT PREJUDICE 

AND SETTING DEPOSITION AND 

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Re: Dkt. No. 84

Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Telephonic Discovery Conference 

concerning the deposition of Defendant Facebook Inc.'s declarant, Alex Himel. Dkt. No. 84. The 

Court requested that Facebook submit a declaration explaining why Mr. Himel was unavailable 

before July 8, 2015. Dkt. No. 86. Facebook timely filed Mr. Himel’s Declaration, which 

describes his availability in the coming weeks. Dkt. No. 87.

Having reviewed this Declaration, the Court ORDERS Mr. Himel to appear for the

deposition on July 1, 2015. Following this deposition, if the parties continue to dispute whether 

Plaintiffs may discover Facebook’s source code, the briefing schedule for that discovery dispute 

shall be as follows: Plaintiffs’ Motion due by July 9, 2015; Facebook’s Opposition due by July 23, 

2015; and Plaintiffs’ Reply due by July 30, 2015. The Court shall conduct a hearing on August 

13, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B.

Given the foregoing, the Court finds a telephonic discovery conference unnecessary at this 

time and DENIES Plaintiffs’ Motion WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 12, 2015
