UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LEONA MARINO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CACAFE, INC., ET AL., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 16-cv-6291 YGR 

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING 

IN PART PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST TO COMPEL 

FURTHER RESPONSES 

Re: Dkt. No. 112 

The Court has reviewed the parties’ joint discovery letter brief, filed November 27, 2017. 

(Dkt. No. 112, “Brief”.) Based upon the arguments therein and the record in this action, the Court 

Orders that Plaintiff’s request to compel further responses is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN 

PART, as follows: 

Plaintiff provides no justification for the 8-month delay in addressing the alleged 

inadequacy of defendant's document production. Accordingly, to the extent the letter brief seeks 

an extension on class certification briefing, such request is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to a 

more substantial showing of good cause. 

Plaintiff’s request is GRANTED IN PART as to the following information (identified at Brief 

3:19-4:3) for all putative class members, specifically: 

1. All emails dated between February 1, 2013, and December 31, 2016, in all four of the 

referenced email accounts, containing one of the 48 modified search terms in either the email’s 

body or subject line, for all emails between: (i) CACafe, Costco, and/or CDS; and (ii) plaintiff 

and/or any ISD within the class definition.

2. All emails in which “Costco” or “CDS” is part of the recipient and/or sender email 

address, and the email relates to: (i) the demonstration agreements and services between CACafe, 

Costco, and CDS; and (ii) the policies/procedures of CACafe, Costco, and/or CDS. 

The Court ORDERS CACafe to produce the above documents by December 22, 2017, or 

the promised date, whichever is sooner. However, CACafe is not required to produce any 

responsive documents comprising earnings/commissions statements, payroll records, or similar 

financial information of putative class members who have not opted-in to the FLSA collective 

action by the date of production. 

The demand for emails between CACafe and unnamed third party companies, such as 

Walmart, is DENIED. 

This Order is without prejudice to any request to compel production of the requested 

information should a class be certified. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

This terminates Docket No. 112. 

Dated: November 30, 2017
