Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA San Francisco Division TALA RUSSELL, Case No. 18-cv-04525-EMC (LB)
Plaintiff,
DISCOVERY ORDER; NOTICE AND
v. ORDER REGARDING DISCOVERY
PROCEDURES
KRONOS INCORPORATED, Re: ECF No. 48 Defendant. 16 The court held a discovery hearing on October 24, 2019 regarding the disputes raised in the parties’ joint discovery letter1 and issues this order to memorialize the rulings on the record. First, Kronos represented that it fully responded to the plaintiff’s discovery requests and produced what it has, with the substantial caveat that it does not have the plaintiff’s emails or Mike Solomon’s emails due to its document-retention policy.2 Under that policy, Kronos deletes all employees’ emails 30 days after termination of employment.3 Kronos clarified at the hearing that the issue is not the expense of restoration of emails and instead is the impossibility of restoring them.
