UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JARRITOS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

LOS JARRITOS, et al.,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-05-2380 JSW (EMC)

ORDER RE “JOINT” LETTERS RE

DISCOVERY DISPUTE

(Docket Nos. 46, 49)

The Court has received two “joint” letters (Docket Nos. 46 and 49). Counsel did not comply

with this Court’s order of May 5, 2006. “Joint” means joint. Any further violation of this Court’s

orders will result in sanctions imposed upon counsel.

As to the merits, the Court rules as follows:

1. Form of protective order

Defendant’s Paragraph 7.5 is acceptable except that subparagraph (a) shall read “shall be

used for purposes of this litigation only.”

2. Defendant’s Request for Production #23

Plaintiff shall produce documents currently used. For those going back two years, it may use

representative samples but such samples must adequately represent to the full spectrum of uses; i.e.

it should produce everything except those which are substantially similar to ones produced. Plaintiff

shall also provide a declaration along with the production attesting that all representative samples

other than those which are substantially similar have been produced.

3. Defendant’s Request for Production #28

The production shall be for the last two years.

4. Defendant’s Request for Production #31

The production shall be for the last four years.

5. Defendant’s Request for Production #71

The parties shall further meet and confer.

6. Defendant’s Request for Production #92

The production shall be for the last two years.

7. Privileged Documents

All documents which Defendant claims are privileged must be individually identified on a

privilege log. If there is a natural group of documents (such as a group of documents which were

sent by the same sender and went to the same recipient(s) on the same date for the same purpose)

that group may be so identified and treated as one item on the log. Otherwise, each document must

be listed and described.

8. Formalities

Verifications as previously ordered shall be provided.

9. Fourth Set of Production

The parties shall further meet and confer.

The Court notes that not only have the parties violated its order regarding submission of a

“joint” letter, it is apparent from the nature of the disputes presented that the meet and confer efforts

herein were not adequate. In the future, if the parties do not successfully resolve their discovery

differences in the meet and confer process, the Court will order the parties to appear in Court and

conduct an all-day (if necessary) meet and confer under the auspices of the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
