CORRELATED MAGNETICS RESEARCH, LLC, Plaintiff, v. LOGITECH, INC., Defendant.
DISCOVERY ORDER Re: Dkt. No. 102
Alex G. Tse United States Magistrate Judge
Logitech must respond to CMR's first set of RFAs by the fact-discovery cutoff, on August 17, 2022. Although this means that Logitech will have about three hours less than 30 days to re-spond, Logitech hasn't demonstrated that it will suffer any prejudice due to this. There's also no reason to doubt CMR when it says its brief tardiness in serving the RFAs on Logitech was due to inadvertence. The 30-day default response period may be shortened by court order. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 36(a)(3) (“A shorter or longer time for responding may be . . . ordered by the court.”). Exercising this authority, the Court shortens Logitech's response period-by a matter of hours.
CMR served its RFAs on Logitech at 2:40 a.m. on July 19, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
