ECARDLESS BANCORP, LTD., Plaintiff, v. PAYPAL, INC., Defendant.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
ORDER ON OCTOBER 25, 2023, DISCOVERY DISPUTE
DEREK T. GILLILAND UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On October 25, 2023, the Parties submitted a discovery dispute chart to the Court concerning a spreadsheet of Defendant employees. Defendant produced the spreadsheet with the employee names redacted and in a difficult-to-read PDF format. Plaintiff contends that the information is relevant, and the Court agrees as it has been produced in discovery and relied upon by Defendant's declarant. Defendant has failed to identify any privilege that would justify redacting the employee names, and Defendant's concern about employee privacy is adequately addressed by the appropriate designation under the default protective order applicable to this case. Thus, Plaintiff's requested relief is granted, and Defendant is ORDERED to produce an unredacted, native Excel version of the file within 7-days of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
