United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALLCELLS, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

JACK ZHAI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-07323-EMC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

SHORTEN TIME WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

Docket No. 13

Plaintiff has moved for expedited consideration of its motion for expedited discovery. 

Plaintiff’s motion to shorten time is hereby DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff has not shown 

that it made any attempt to meet and confer with Defendants regarding either the request for 

shortened time or the underlying discovery motion.1 

Plaintiff is not barred from re-filing after meeting and conferring. Such meet and confer 

should address, inter alia, the breadth of the discovery sought (which, as a facial matter, appears 

overbroad for purposes of preliminary injunction preparation) as well as scheduling of the motion 

for expedited discovery and the preliminary injunction motion.

Plaintiff is ordered to serve a copy of this order on all Defendants – both by mail service 

and by e-mail service (the latter as a courtesy) – within two days of the date of this order. Plaintiff

1 As to individual defendant Mr. Lee, there does not appear to have been even service of the 

complaint or the various motions. Discovery as to Mr. Lee, therefore, is particularly problematic.
