No. C-02-1786 JSW (EMC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS TO

COMPEL

(Docket Nos. 1102 and 1103)

The parties’ discovery disputes brought to this Court via letter briefs were heard on January

12, 2006. Having considered the papers filed in support of and in opposition to the motions to

compel brought by First Data and Visa, the argument of counsel, and good cause appearing therefor,

for the reasons stated on the record in open court, the Court hereby orders as follows.

First Data’s motion to compel discovery is GRANTED. Visa shall continue to produce: 

(1) all of the 65 co-brand agreements it has in its possession; and (2) all documents responsive to the

nine categories listed in the joint October 3, 2005 letter to the Court found in 18 incentive agreement

files (six of which have been identified, 12 more which will be identified by First Data), including

the incentive agreement and documents reflecting negotiations leading thereto. The parties reserve

their rights to seek or oppose production of additional files after these files have been reviewed and

the deposition of Ms. Beidler is taken. Ms. Beidler’s deposition shall proceed on January 18, 2006

unless mutually agreed to be rescheduled. Ms. Beidler’s deposition shall not preclude First Data

from taking a 30(b)(6) deposition.
