ORDER: Shenzhen's motion [87] to dismiss the counterclaims is denied. Signed by the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso on 1/27/2026. Notice mailed by Judge's staff
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: The Court has reviewed the parties' Joint Status Report [95]. The Court is not inclined to consider the motion to compel Defendant says it plans to file if its Local Rule 37.2 conferrals with Plaintiff and Counter-defendant about the WeChat communications are unsuccessful, and it declines to set Defendant's proposed briefing schedule for that motion practice. In the Court's view, the most effective and least expensive way for Defendant to obtain the information it is seeking about the organization or provenance of the WeChat communications including without limitation communications between Plaintiff and Counter-defendant and the factory, at least as a first step, is through a limited deposition of Plaintiff and/or a limited Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Counter-defendant on those issues as has been offered by Plaintiff and Counter-defendant. The Court suggests Defendant pursue that route first before engaging in motion practice that may shed no more light on the issues than already has been shed. The limited deposition permitted by this order is without prejudice to Defendant's ability to depose Plaintiff or Counter-defendant in the future about any other issues relevant to the claims and defenses in this case and proportional to the needs of the case. The parties shall file by 2/3/26 a joint status report with a date for the deposition referenced above unless Defendant declines to take it. A status hearing is set for 2/10/26 at 11:30 a.m. Out of town counsel may appear by telephone. The call-in number is 650-479-3207 and the access code is 180 946 2499#.

REPLY by Shenzhen Shenhua Trading Co., Ltd. to response in opposition to motion, [90]
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: Status hearing held on 12/16/25. The Court reviewed the parties' Joint Status Report [91]. The parties state in their status report that they have paused discovery against the newly added Counter Defendant until the Motion to Dismiss [87] is decided. The Court is unwilling to stay discovery in this case against any party while the Motion to Dismiss is pending. In the Court's view, the discovery that Defendant is seeking overlaps with the discovery already sought from Plaintiff and it is inefficient to pause discovery against the newly added party until the Motion to Dismiss is decided. At its request, the new Counter Defendant is given until 1/6/26 to respond to Defendants' previously served discovery requests. The parties shall file an updated joint status report by 1/20/26 that includes the following information: (1) Confirmation that the new Counter Defendant has responded to Defendant's discovery requests; (2) Address whether Defendant has accepted Plaintiff's proposal to sit for a deposition limited to the WeChat communication issues; (3) Whether motion practice is necessary on any party's discovery responses and a proposed schedule for that motion practice; (4) Any outstanding discovery as to which discovery responses are not yet due; and (5) Address next steps for moving this litigation forward.

STATUS Report joint by Shantou Longhu District Rui Zhongxing Toys Factory Presented before Magistrate Judge
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: This case has been referred to Magistrate Judge Gibert for the purposes of discovery supervision and settlement negotiations. The Court has reviewed the parties' Joint Status Report of 9/19/25 [77]. It is unclear whether the parties have completed the Local Rule 37.2 process with respect to any pending discovery disputes. Plaintiff says Plaintiff has fully responded to Defendant No. 16's discovery requests. Defendant says "significant discovery issues remain." The parties shall file another joint status report by 10/14/25 that indicates whether any discovery disputes need to be presented to the Court for resolution and, if so, they should propose a briefing schedule for doing so. In that regard, the Court strongly prefers a joint motion to resolve a discovery dispute that lays out each side's position on the operative dispute or disputes in the same document rather than responsive briefing. A status hearing is set for 10/23/25 at 10:00 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1386. Out-of-town counsel may appear by telephone at 650-479-3207 and the access code is 180 946 2499#.
