PAUL S. GREWAL, District Judge.
Before the court is a motion by Adaptix, Inc., Plaintiff in each of these related cases. Adaptix seeks leave to conduct discovery on non-party Qualcomm Incorporated after the close of fact discovery.1 Adaptix has since confirmed that further discovery in most of these cases—the ones involving Defendants Sony Mobil Communications, Inc. and ZTE Corporation2—is unwarranted because the cases are likely to settle or be dismissed.3 The only remaining issue, therefore, is whether third-party discovery is justified in the two cases involving Defendant Kyocera Corporation.4
Adaptix acknowledges that its subpoenas to Qualcomm in the Kyocera cases did not request that Qualcomm produce any source code. Although Adaptix characterizes this as an associate's oversight, Adaptix did not correct the mistake in the several months after it issued the subpoena in July. There is no process by which the court may order further discovery under Fed. R.Civ.P. 45. The motion is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
