TODD CROWDER, et al., Plaintiffs, v. LINKEDIN CORPORATION, Defendant.
ORDER PARTIALLY LIFTING STAY AND DIRECTING PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR. United States District Judge
In its order on Defendant's first motion to dismiss, the Court stayed discovery in its discretion, noting that it would be prudent to first assess whether any claims were likely to proceed based on Plaintiffs' amendments. See Dkt. No. 64 at 13. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and Defendant filed another motion to dismiss. See Dkt. Nos. 65, 73. Having considered the parties' arguments in their briefing and at the hearing on the motion on July 27, 2023, the Court LIFTS the discovery stay only to the limited extent set forth below. See Little v. City of Seattle, 863 F.2d 681, 685 (9th Cir. 1988) (“The district court has wide discretion in controlling discovery.”). Defendant is ORDERED to produce to Plaintiffs any private API agreements between LinkedIn and HootSuite, Amobee, Annalect, Ogilvy, or Sprinklr by August 10, 2023. See Dkt. No. 65 ¶¶ 243, 246. All other discovery beyond the production of these specified private API agreements remains stayed unless otherwise ordered.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
