15103587.1

Plaintiff Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”) and Defendant Pounce Consulting, 

Inc. (“Pounce USA”) (collectively, “the Parties”) by and through their respective counsel of 

record, hereby stipulate as follows:

WHEREAS on November 8, 2018, Judge Laporte found that “the emails and other 

documents of Roger Viera are in the possession, custody, and/or control of [Pounce USA], 

regardless of whether the documents are housed on a server in Mexico, given that Mr. Viera is an 

officer and majority owner of Pounce USA and given that Mr. Viera used these email accounts 

to direct the business of Pounce USA,” and ordered Pounce USA to “search for and produce all 

documents of Roger Viera that are responsive to Cadence’s documents requests, including any 

emails housed on the server in Mexico.” (Dkt. No. 189).

It is hereby agreed and stipulated among the Parties as follows: 

1. Pounce USA will produce all documents in compliance with the Court’s 

November 8, 2018 Order by January 7, 2019.

2. In connection with this production, within 7 days of this Stipulation, Pounce USA 

will provide to Cadence proposed ESI search terms and a protocol for collecting, 

searching, and producing ESI. 

3. Within 7 days of Pounce USA proposing ESI search terms, Cadence and Pounce 

USA will meet and confer on the ESI search terms and production protocol.

4. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Stipulation do not relieve Pounce USA’s obligation to 

produce non-ESI documents.

5. Pounce USA will comply with its legal obligations to preserve evidence and will 

not remove or delete any responsive documents to avoid production.
