In a joint submission regarding discovery, Defendant City of Seattle sought an order from

20

this Court compelling Plaintiff Chamber of Commerce to produce documents belonging to its

21

members, including Lyft, Inc., and Eastside for Hire. (Dkt. 113.) The Chamber responded that it

22

has no obligation to do so because it lacks possession, custody, or control of its members’

23

documents. In a March 10 ruling, this Court ordered the Chamber to “notify the Court whether it

24

has the power to obtain and produce the documents requested by the City of Seattle in its First

25

Set of Requests for Production,” given the Chamber’s “relationship with its members and

26

whatever authorization gives it the right to pursue this litigation.” (Dkt. 116 at 4–5.)

The Chamber, Rasier, LLC, and the City of Seattle hereby jointly move for a 14-day

2

extension of time for the Chamber to file the discovery notice ordered in this Court’s March 10

3

ruling. (Dkt. 116). The notice is currently due Tuesday, March 24, 2010. The parties request an

4

extension to and including April 7, 2020. The additional time will maintain the current status quo

5

while the parties discuss how the litigation should proceed going forward. The parties also

6

request additional time due to the law-office closures and court closures required by the COVID-

7

19 pandemic. For these reasons, good cause exists for a 14-day extension of time.

8

DATED this 20th day of March, 2020.
Respectfully submitted,
