IN RE: LITHIUM ION BATTERIES 

ANTITRUST LITIGATION Case No.: 13-MD-2420 YGR

ORDER REQUIRING SUPPLEMENTAL 

BRIEFING RE: MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM 

NON-DISPOSITIVE PRETRIAL ORDER OF 

MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

This Order Relates to: 

All Direct and Indirect Purchaser 

Actions

Defendants LG Chem Ltd. and LG Chem America, Inc. (the “LG defendants”) have filed a 

motion for relief from a non-dispositive pretrial order of Magistrate Judge Ryu relating to the 

anticipated deposition of Seok Hwan Kwak. (Dkt. No. 852.) The Court previously ordered a 

response from plaintiffs. (Dkt. No. 855.) Thereafter, the LG defendants filed a reply thereto 

without seeking leave. The Court now ORDERS as follows: 

By October 26, 2015, plaintiffs shall file a supplemental brief of no more than seven (7) 

pages addressing: (1) whether evidentiary sanctions are appropriate in light of the LG defendants’ 

purported failure to provide sufficient notice of Kwak’s change in employment status as an 

alternative to a deposition; and (2) if so, what form of evidentiary sanction is requested. By noon

on October 28, 2015, the LG defendants shall file a response of no more than seven (7) pages. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 21, 2015 _______________________________________
