Trump, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and jointly move to modify the deadline to file discovery motions related to jurisdictional discovery set forth in the Court’s July 27, 2018 Order (Dkt. No. 155) (hereinafter, “July 27 Order”) from September 25, 2018, to October 9, 2018. This modification is needed to permit the parties to confer and, if necessary, draft motions following defendants’ completion of document production responsive to Plaintiffs’ First Set of STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO MODIFY DEADLINE FOR DISCOVERY MOTIONS (No. C17-0178JLR) – 1 Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third Avenue, Suite 4900 Seattle, WA 98101-3099 Phone: 206.359.8000 Fax: 206.359.9000 Case 2:17-cv-00178-JLR Document 156 Filed 08/20/18 Page 2 of 11 1 Requests for Production, which defendants have advised may not be possible until September 14, 2 2018, and service of defendants’ privilege log, which defendants have advised may not be 3 possible until seven days after the completion of that production. 4 I. 5 BACKGROUND On July 27, 2018, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for jurisdictional discovery on 6 mootness and set a 90 day deadline for completion of that discovery. July 27 Order at 29-30. 7 The July 27 Order mandates that the parties “file any related discovery motions within 60 days of 8 the filing date of [the] order,” which is September 25, 2018. Id. at 29. 9 Five days later, on August 1, 2018, plaintiffs in both actions served a combined first set 10 of requests for production of documents on defendants and requested that, given the discovery 11 schedule, defendants respond to the request within 15 days of service. On August 7, 2018, 12 defendants advised that they intended to (1) provide written responses and objections to 13 plaintiffs’ first set of requests by August 22, 2018; (2) produce responsive documents by 14 September 14, 2018; and (3) provide a privilege log within seven days following completion of 15 that production, with all such proposed deadlines subject to change depending on the volume of 16 potentially responsive records and any unforeseen complications during processing and 17 production, as well as competing work demands. On August 10, 2018, the parties telephonically 18 conferred regarding this schedule, and plaintiffs expressed concern that the schedule provided 19 insufficient time to file any necessary discovery motions by the September 25 deadline. 20 Defendants explained that, while they hope to produce documents on a rolling basis, they cannot 21 commit to producing documents and a privilege log within a shorter timeframe, particularly 22 because defendants continue to search for documents that are responsive to plaintiffs’ requests, 23 and thus defendants do not yet know the volume of material that will need to be ultimately 24 reviewed. Moreover, to promote accuracy in production, defendants have put in place a multitier 25 document review process involving agency custodians, agency counsel, and Department of 26 Justice litigation counsel. Defendants’ estimated timeframe accounts for this multitier review STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO MODIFY DEADLINE FOR DISCOVERY MOTIONS (No. C17-0178JLR) – 2 Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third Avenue, Suite 4900 Seattle, WA 98101-3099 Phone: 206.359.8000 Fax: 206.359.9000 Case 2:17-cv-00178-JLR Document 156 Filed 08/20/18 Page 3 of 11 1 process as well as expected absences during the remainder of the summer and around the Labor 2 Day holiday. 3 II. ARGUMENT 4 Because defendants plan to produce the privilege log within seven days following 5 completion of document production, which itself may not be completed until September 14, the 6 current discovery motion deadline potentially leaves the parties with only four days—and only 7 two business days—to confer and file motions regarding any privilege issues that may arise on 8 review of the privilege log. This is an insufficient amount of time and may lead to needless 9 motion practice regarding issues that could have been resolved between the parties if they had 10 more time to confer. The parties therefore seek to move the discovery motion deadline to 11 October 9, 2018—two weeks from the current deadline. That date should still enable the parties 12 to complete jurisdictional discovery by the October 25, 2018, deadline prescribed by the July 27 13 Order. 14 III. 15 CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, the parties jointly and respectfully request that the Court 16 modify the discovery motion deadline set forth in the Court’s July 27, 2018 Order from 17 September 24, 2018, to October 9, 2018. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO MODIFY DEADLINE FOR DISCOVERY MOTIONS (No. C17-0178JLR) – 3 Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third Avenue, Suite 4900 Seattle, WA 98101-3099 Phone: 206.359.8000 Fax: 206.359.9000 Case 2:17-cv-00178-JLR Document 156 Filed 08/20/18 Page 4 of 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Respectfully submitted, s/ Deepa Alagesan Deepa Alagesan, Pro Hac Vice Mariko Hirose, Pro Hac Vice Linda Evarts, Pro Hac Vice Kathryn C.
