Oly Filatova appeared on behalf of Defendants Andrey Klimov, Yulia Klimova, Anna Stebleva, A-Star LLC, and ID-Wise SIA ("Defendants").

a. Plaintiff is to provide Defendants with all documents pursuant to the disclosure rules, which include: (i) any agreements and formation agreements alleged in the complaint and any agreement with Axon2; (ii) an itemization of alleged damages (disclosed in good faith but not binding on Plaintiff), which shall set forth types of damages and parameters of appropriate damages and amount thereof; (iii) any insurance policies and, if no insurance policies exist then a declaration shall be filed by Plaintiff's representative stating no insurance policies exist; and (iv) Any contracts Plaintiff claims it lost.

b. Defendants shall provide to Plaintiff (i) any documents which reference Trade Secrets listed in Plaintiff's Identification of Trade Secrets filed under seal on April 4, 2016; (ii) any documents pertaining to the formation of allegedly competing entities; and (iii) any contracts Defendants have as to former customers of Artec, with the agreement that if such documents(s) cannot be produced then Defendants shall provide Plaintiff with information such as a privilege log why the document(s) cannot be produced;

[PROPOSED] ORDER

It is so ordered.

FootNotes


1. Parties have agreed in correspondence that all documents pursuant to Sections 2(a) and (b) shall be produced no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 8, 2016.
2. Defendants have stated in correspondence that Section 2(a)(i) should read "any agreements and correspondence regarding formation of agreements alleged in the complaint and any agreement with Axon." Plaintiff does not believe this is reflected by the Minute Entry. However, Plaintiff has offered to agree to this revision if Defendants agree to produce "any contracts and correspondence related to contracts Defendants have as to former customers of Artec" (Section 2(b)(ii)). Defendants have not agreed to this proposal.
