LOOP AI LABS INC,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANNA GATTI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00798-HSG (DMR)

ORDER DENYING ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE 

MOTIONS TO COMPEL

Re: Dkt. No. 337

The court has received Defendant Almawave USA, Inc.’s (“Almawave”) administrative 

motion for leave to file motions to compel discovery from Plaintiff Loop AI Labs, Inc., in which 

Defendant IQ System, Inc. joined. [Docket Nos. 337, 340.] 

Almawave seeks leave to move to compel Plaintiff to 1) respond to Almawave’s written 

discovery requests without objection; 2) produce documents according to an ESI protocol that 

allows Almawave to copy Loop’s documents; and 3) provide dates for depositions of its witnesses. 

According to Almawave, it seeks leave to file motions to compel because Plaintiff has refused to 

meet and confer and/or provide its positions in writing for purposes of a joint letter. Plaintiff filed 

a response to Almawave’s administrative motion that makes it clear that the parties have not met 

and conferred about these issues.

1

[Docket No. 339.]

The court has previously ordered the parties to conduct regularly-scheduled telephonic 

meet and confer sessions regarding discovery every Friday. The parties shall use this week’s 

session (i.e., January 8, 2016) to meet and confer regarding the three areas of dispute raised in 

 

1

Plaintiff’s response included a “Status Report Regarding Defendants’ Discovery” in which 

Plaintiff describes purported issues with all document productions by Defendants to date. [Docket 

No. 339.] The court notes that it did not grant Plaintiff leave to file a status report. To the extent 

Plaintiff seeks relief regarding Defendants’ document productions, Plaintiff must comply with the 

court’s joint letter procedure for resolution of discovery disputes. Accordingly, the court 

disregards Plaintiff’s status report.
