UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY S. DAILY,

Plaintiff,

v.

FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-04-3791 PJH (EMC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S

SECOND MOTION TO COMPEL

PRODUCTION

(Docket No. 126)

Defendant Royal Indemnity Co. (“Royal”) moves the Court to compel Plaintiff Gregory S.

Daily to produce documents in response to certain requests for production. Essentially, through the

requests, Royal seeks nonprivileged documents in the underlying litigation Auerbach Acquisition

Assocs., Inc. v. Daily (Los Angeles Superior Court No. BC 285 134).

In response, Mr. Daily states that he is opposing the motion to compel because there is a

protective order in the Auerbach case and the majority of documents sought by Royal fall under the

protective order. Mr. Daily also states that, pursuant to that protective order, he has notified the

necessary parties in the Auerbach litigation of Royal’s discovery requests. U.S. Bancorp informed

Mr. Daily “that it would not intervene, or take any other action to avoid production of the documents

requested. To date, Daily’s counsel has not heard from Auerbach’s counsel.” Opp’n at 2.

Because U.S. Bancorp has not expressed any fundamental opposition to the discovery sought

by Royal, and because Auerbach has not objected nor otherwise responded despite notice since July

21, 2005, the Court orders production of the documents by Mr. Daily. As per the Court’s previous
