`
`GOOGLE LLC,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`SONOS, INC.,
`
`Case No. 20-cv-06754-WHA (DMR)
`
`
`ORDER RE: JOINT DISCOVERY
`LETTER
`
`Re: Dkt. No. 377
`
`
`
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`The parties filed a joint discovery letter on October 14, 2022 in which Defendant Sonos,
`
`Inc. moves to compel Plaintiff Google LLC to designate a witness or witnesses to testify in
`
`response to Sonos’s Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice and to respond to a single interrogatory.
`
`[Docket No. 377.] The joint letter is set for hearing on December 8, 2022.
`
`One of the issues raised in the joint letter is the competency of the two witnesses Google
`
`previously designated to testify regarding Sonos’s 30(b)(6) Topic No. 1(iii)(a)-(c), “stream
`
`transfer” functionality. On November 23, 2022, Sonos filed a motion for leave to amend its
`
`infringement contentions in which it asserts that Google recently designated a third individual,
`
`Tavis Maclellan, as its 30(b)(6) witness for the subject of stream transfer functionality. Sonos
`
`states that it deposed Maclellan on November 11, 2022 and obtained testimony on that subject.
`
`[Docket No. 407 at 2-3.] Thus, it appears that the parties’ dispute about Topic No. 1(iii)(a)-(c) is
`
`moot. By no later than 3:00 p.m. on Monday, December 5, 2022, the parties shall submit a joint
`
`letter that does not exceed one page stating whether the dispute about Topic No. 1(iii)(a)-(c) is
`
`moot and thus withdrawn, and whether any other disputes addressed in the October 14, 2022 joint
`
`letter are impacted by Maclellan’s deposition and therefore withdrawn.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: December 2, 2022
