KUANG XUAN LIU, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

WIN WOO TRADING, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-02639-KAW 

ORDER REGARDING 4/24/16 JOINT 

LETTER RE: ORIGINAL TIME 

REPORTS

Re: Dkt. No. 171

On April 24, 2016, Plaintiffs and Defendant Safety Trucking filed a joint letter in which 

Plaintiffs seek to compel the production of original copies of time reports for Plaintiffs and other 

truck drivers, which bear the signature of the particular driver, dated prior to November 16, 2011. 

(Joint Letter, Dkt. No. 171 at 1.) Specifically, Plaintiffs contend that certain time reports were 

altered to obscure the fact that Win Woo was listed as the employer. Id. Plaintiffs argue that these 

alterations benefit Win Woo, who has allegedly used the altered reports in depositions. (Joint 

Letter at 4.)

Safety Trucking reiterates that many documents were lost, but that the print-outs were not 

altered. (Joint Letter at 5.) Rather, Jia Tun Zheng contends that any listing of Win Woo as the 

payor is a clerical error, because both companies used the same time card machine. (Decl. of Jia 

Tun Zheng, Dkt. No. 171-3 at 4 ¶¶ 5-7.) Any determination of whether this was a clerical error, or 

whether the corporate entities were operating as a single entity, is a question of fact to be decided

by the jury.

Accordingly, Safety Trucking is ordered to produce the original time reports and original 

corrected time reports for all truck drivers, dated prior to November 16, 2011, for inspection and 

copying at a mutually agreeable location within 14 days of this order. This includes those time

reports that Safety Trucking contends erroneously list “Win Woo Trading” as the employer or 

“Department.” In the event that an original time report is not available, Safety Trucking shall 

furnish a reproduction that it authenticates as a true and correct copy of a business record. To the 

extent that any original time reports are in the possession of Win Woo, the Court is confident that 

those will also be made available at the agreed upon time of inspection.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
