JSR MICRO, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

QBE INSURANCE CORP., et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C-09-03044 PJH (EDL)

ORDER FOLLOWING DISCOVERY

HEARING

On July 19, 2010, the Court held a discovery hearing in this matter. For the reasons stated at

the hearing, the Court orders as follows. Defendant shall produce declaration pages and a listing of

endorsements, if such a list exists, for trade credit insurance policies under which claims were made

that were issued in Australia for the two-year period from March 1, 2007 through March 1, 2009. 

Plaintiff shall designate up to ten percent of the policies from the total number of policies produced,

and Defendant shall produce the claims files for those ten percent. Plaintiff’s choice is without

prejudice to Plaintiff making a further request for discovery on the issue of non-U.S. trade credit

policies, although further discovery may well be disproportionate under Rule 26(b)(2)(c)(iii). 

Defendant shall keep detailed and accurate records reflecting precisely the hours and costs of this

production, and the parties shall meet and confer to discuss potential cost-sharing. Defendant shall

provide a letter to Plaintiff no later than July 23, 2010 regarding a realistic deadline for this

production. If the parties cannot agree on a deadline, they shall file a joint letter with the Court no

later than July 26, 2010. 

At the hearing, Plaintiff sought an order permitting it to propound additional interrogatories

in this case. The Court grants Plaintiff’s request for 35 additional interrogatories. Defendant may

also have an additional 35 interrogatories if it believes it needs them.

noticed motion pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Civil Local Rules. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
