United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,

Plaintiff,

v.

DIRECTV, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01129-HSG (MEJ)

DISCOVERY ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 113

The Court is in receipt of the parties’ discovery dispute letter regarding the FTC’s

Requests for Production No. 12 (“All consumer complaints regarding any of the Material Terms of 

the Service.”) and No. 13 (“All Documents relating to consumer complaints regarding any of the 

Material Terms of the Service.”). Dkt. No. 113. Having reviewed the parties’ positions, the Court 

finds the FTC’s requests relevant but overbroad. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the parties to 

further meet and confer in an effort to narrow the scope of the requests. If unable to reach a 

resolution, the parties shall file an updated letter in compliance with the Discovery Standing 

Order, setting forth a summary of each party’s final substantive position and their final proposed 

compromise on each issue, including relevant legal authority. With regard to DIRECTV’s 

argument regarding redaction of personal consumer information, the parties are directed to meet 

and confer regarding redaction of any such information, unless the FTC can make a compelling 

showing as to its relevancy. If any personal information is necessary, it can be sufficiently 

safeguarded under the parties’ Protective Order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 8, 2016
