SECOND DISCOVERY ORDER

On June 14, 2007, I held a telephonic conference to

discuss the discovery disputes described in the parties’ June

5 and June 8 letters. All parties participated through

counsel. I find the disputes capable of resolution without

further briefing or hearing and, for the reasons discussed on

the record, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. I find that plaintiffs’ production demands are

directed to defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., and seek

information about its employees in California, not a subset of

those employees, such as those that work for “Wal-Mart

stores”. See Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 222 F.R.D. 137,

141, 145 (N.D. Cal. 2004) aff’d Dukes v. Wal-Mart, Inc., 474

F.3d 1214 (9th Cir. 2007) (describing “Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.”

as including divisions such as Sam’s Club). If defendant

believes the plaintiff class should be limited to a subset of

its employees, it must proceed by appropriate motion, not by

withholding discovery.

2. Information responsive to production demands 19, 20

and 21 that defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is prepared to

produce by the week of June 25 shall be produced by no later

than noon, June 29, 2007.

3. Information responsive to production demands 19, 20

and 21 that defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is not prepared

to produce by the week of June 25 shall be produced by no

later than noon, July 13, 2007. 

Dated: June 14, 2007
