LOOP AI LABS INC,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANNA GATTI, et al.,

Defendants.

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

ORDER RE DEFENDANT GATTI'S EX 

PARTE DISCOVERY LETTER

Re: Dkt. No. 360

The court has received Defendant Anna Gatti’s January 7, 2016 ex parte discovery letter in 

which she seeks a protective order quashing six subpoenas or staying each third party’s duty to 

comply with the subpoenas. [Docket No. 360.] The court has previously ordered that a party 

must obtain leave of court prior to filing an ex parte discovery letter, and warned that it would 

only grant leave “in exceptional circumstances.” [Docket No. 222.] Defendant Gatti did not file 

an administrative motion for leave to file an ex parte discovery letter. Additionally, she made no 

reference to, let alone demonstrate, exceptional circumstances justifying the filing of her ex parte 

discovery letter. Accordingly, the court declines to consider the letter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 8, 2016
