`

`
`
`Judge: EDWARD M. CHEN
`
`Date: August 28, 2024

`
`
`Case No.: 3:23-cv-04597-EMC
`
`Pro Se Plaintiff: Ashley Gjovik
`Attorney for Defendant: Melinda Riechert
`
`Deputy Clerk: Vicky Ayala
`
`
`Case Name: Gjovik v. Apple Inc.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Court Reporter: Kelly Shainline
`
`PROCEEDINGS HELD BY ZOOM WEBINAR
`
`Motion to Dismiss; Motion to Strike; Initial Case Management Conference – Held.
`
`
`
`SUMMARY
`
`Parties stated appearances.
`
`Oral argument presented. Matter submitted; order to issue. The Court shall not accept any further filings
`related to the motion to dismiss.
`
`The Court shall refer the case to a settlement conference with a magistrate judge (to be held within 120-
`150 days).
`
`In addition, the Court shall require the parties to complete initial disclosures. However, it temporarily
`stays discovery pending a ruling on Apple's motion to dismiss. It makes sense to stay discovery
`temporarily so that the parties will have the benefit of the Court's ruling which will then inform the scope
`of the litigation.
`
`Once the Court rules on Apple's motion to dismiss, then it shall allow discovery to proceed. Discovery
`shall be limited, for the time being, to "Phase I" discovery – i.e., discovery narrowly tailored to that
`needed in order for the parties to be adequately prepared for the settlement conference. The Court does
`not see a need for more than 1-2 depositions per side for purposes of Phase I discovery. Plaintiff
`indicated that she cannot afford to take depositions; that is a decision for her to make. Plaintiff cannot
`avoid having her deposition taken.
`
`If the case does not settle, then the Court shall open discovery in full.
`
`REFERRALS:
`Case referred to Magistrate Judge for settlement conference to be completed within 120-150 days.
