Micron Technology, Inc. v. Factory Mutual Insurance Company
Opinion
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC., et al., Case No. 3:18-cv-07689-LB Plaintiffs, DISCOVERY ORDER v. Re: ECF No. 218 FACTORY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant.
16 INTRODUCTION The parties dispute whether Factory Mutual must produce discovery about claims made by other insureds involving losses under the same or similar policy language to that governing Micron’s claimed loss here.1 The discovery about claims is relevant to the interpretation of “physical loss or damage” under the insurance contract.2 Factory Mutual’s concerns about burden and proportionality are addressed by limiting the discovery to the semiconductor industry. The court orders Factory Mutual to produce the discovery for claims involving the same or similar insurance-contract language for claims in the semiconductor industry (meaning semiconductor fabrication plants). 25
