10/21/2016Order/ProceduralFiled Order Granting Temporary Stay. We temporarily stay the desposition and evidentiary hearing described in the October 10, 2016, order in Eighth Judicial District Court Case No. A-12-656710-B pending further order of this court. Real Party in Interest shall have 11 days from the date of this order to file a response to the stay motion.

10/25/2016Order/ProceduralFiled Order. This is an original petition for a writ of prohibition or, in the alternative, mandamus challenging district court orders denying a protective order and making related rulings. Initially, it appears that the appendix does not contain a written order reflecting the district court's ruling made during a hearing on September 20, 2016. Accordingly, petitioner shall have 11 days from the date of this order to obtain the district court's written order and file and serve a copy of the order as a supplement to her appendix. Further, having reviewed the petition, it appears that an answer may assist this court in resolving this matter. Answer due: 30 days. Reply due: 15 days from service of answer.16-33322

01/11/2017Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Petitioner has filed a motion to file volumes 3 through 6 of the appendix to her petition under seal. Real party in interest opposes the motion, and petitioner has replied. Accordingly, we grant the motion. The clerk shall file under seal volumes 3 through 6 of the appendix received on October 7, 2016. Real party in interest has filed an unopposed motion to file a redacted version of its answer to the petition and to file an unredacted answer and volume 2 and 3 of the appendix thereto under seal. Cause appearing, we grant the motion. The clerk shall (1) file the redacted answer received on December 13, 2016; (2) file under seal the answer received on December 19, 2016; and (3) file under seal volume 2 and 3 of the appendix received on December 19, 2016. Petitioner has filed a motion to extend the time to file her reply in support of the petition; real party opposes the motion in part, arguing that a shorter extension of time than that requested is appropriate, and petitioner has replied. Cause appearing, we grant the motion. Petitioner shall file her reply by January 27, 2017. On October 21, 2016, this court granted a temporary stay of a deposition and evidentiary hearing pending receipt and consideration of further briefing on petitioner's motion for stay. Real party has filed its opposition. In response, petitioner has filed a motion to strike portions of the opposition or, in the alternative, to exceed the page limit for her reply in support of the motion. We grant the motion to the extent that petitioner's reply may exceed the applicable page limit; we also grant her unopposed motion to redact portions of the reply and to file Exhibits A and C thereto under seal. The clerk shall (1) file the redacted reply in support of the motion for stay received November 15, 2016; and (2) file under seal the reply received November 16, 2016. In addition, the parties have filed a stipulation to permit Aruze USA, Inc., and Kazuo Okada (the Aruze parties), defendants and counterclaimants in the proceedings below, to file a response to petitioner's stay motion. We approve the stipulation and direct the clerk to file the Aruze parties' response received on November 2, 2016. Accordingly, we grant petitioner's motion and stay the deposition and evidentiary hearing described in the October 10, 2016, order in Eighth Judicial District Court Case No. A-12-656710-B pending further order of this court. The Aruze parties have filed a motion to participate in this case as real parties in interest and for an extension of time to file an answer to the petition. Real party and petitioner both oppose the motion. We note that the district court has limited the Aruze parties' involvement in the discovery dispute that is the subject of the instant writ petition, and their participation therefore appears unnecessary at this point, and we therefore deny the motion, though this court may order additional briefing or include the Aruze parties at a later date if deemed necessary. fn1[Real party has filed a motion to redact its opposition and to file its unredacted opposition and an exhibit thereto under seal. We grant the motion and direct the clerk to (1) file the redacted opposition received on November 1, 2016; (2) file under seal the opposition received November 4, 2016; and (3) file the reply received November 14, 2016.] fn2[Real party has filed an unopposed motion to file Exhibit D to its opposition under seal. We grant the motion and direct the clerk to file under seal the exhibit received on November 7, 2016.] fn4[We deny as moot the Aruze parties' motions to extend the time to file an answer and to file a redacted answer and answer under seal. The clerk shall return the proposed answer and appendix received on December 6, 2016, and the redacted answer received on December 8, 2016, unfiled.]17-00984
