`ORDER
`
`Apple filed a Motion to Compel Infringement Contentions Compliant with Local Rule 3-
`
`1(g) (Docket No. 123). The Court heard arguments on the motion on January 8, 2020. In its
`
`opposition brief and in the hearing on the motion, Plaintiff Maxell asserted that Apple’s production
`
`of source code is incomplete and, therefore, that its deadline to provide supplemental infringement
`
`contentions under Rule 3-1(g) has not passed. Apple asserted that its production of source code is
`
`complete.
`
`The deadline to comply with P.R. 3-1(g) does not run “until 30 days after source code
`
`production for each accused instrumentality is produced by the opposing party.” Docket No. 42
`
`at 2. As such, the Court finds it appropriate to resolve the parties’ discovery dispute before ruling
`
`on the motion. The parties are therefore
`
`ORDERED to meet and confer and attempt to resolve this discovery dispute. The parties
`
`shall file a joint notice, no later than February 1, 2020, informing the Court whether the dispute
`
`has been resolved. If the parties cannot reach agreement, the parties shall describe the specific
`
`issues in dispute, and, if necessary, the plaintiff may file an appropriate motion to compel.
