We represent plaintiffs Hachette Book Group, Inc, HarperCollins Publishers LLC, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and Penguin Random House LLC (Plaintiffs”) in this case, in which fact discovery closes on December 17, 2021. We respectfully submit this letter to request a Local Rule 37.2 Conference regarding a motion to compel Defendant Internet Archive (“IA”) to produce documents. Plaintiffs have patiently afforded IA opportunity after opportunity to resolve this discovery dispute. But IA is stonewalling, hoping to run out the clock on discovery.
