GDSI handed another favorable ruling by the judge as Rontan attempts to narrow electronic discovery from the original agreement. Judge denies Defendants Motion to modify.

DE 186
PAPERLESS ORDER MEMORIALIZING DISCOVERY RULING: Having heard extensively from counsel during several discovery hearings regarding the issue of e-discovery production in this case, the Court denies Defendants' most recent motion to tailor or narrow the previously agreed-upon ESI search terms and parameters. Defendants have proffered no valid basis from departing from what the parties agreed upon two months ago. Defendants broadly claim that they are experiencing "excessive" hits returning irrelevant and/or duplicative documents, however Defendants have failed to offer any concrete examples in support of this claim. Defendants shall complete their review and production of documents using all of the agreed-upon ESI search terms and parameters by or before 5:00 P.M. EST on Monday, January 6, 2020. The Court strongly encourages the parties to continue working together in a good faith effort to complete this final document production as efficiently as possible. Signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Dave Lee Brannon on 12/6/2019.
