The entry's text: ORDER by Magistrate Judge Lisa J. Cisneros: Plaintiffs are admonished for failing to comply with Judge Cisneros's Civil Standing Order, which requires parties to file joint discovery letter briefs, or, "[i]n the rare instance that a joint letter is not possible," requires the party filing a unilateral letter to "include an explanation of why a joint letter was not possible." Future discovery briefs that do not comply with the Standing Order may be stricken or denied as procedurally improper. That being said, the Court concludes that it will best serve the overall progression of this case to resolve the issue raised in Plaintiffs' 642 letter brief on the merits, and accordingly ORDERS Stability to file its response to Plaintiffs' portion of the 642 letter brief by July 22, 2026.

The entry's text: ORDER by Magistrate Judge Lisa J. Cisneros: The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs and Midjourney's 621 discovery brief regarding Midjourney's clawback of documents and rules as follows: the Court agrees with Midjourney that the substance of Ms. Ali's responses to CFC's questions in Exhibit D and E reflect work product and may remain redacted. However, CFC's questions in Exhibits A, B, D, and E are not work product and not covered by the attorney-client privilege and must be produced in unredacted form. The Court agrees with Plaintiffs that Midjourney's redactions of its communications with Zyte were improper, as these communications were made "to further a commercial transaction" between Midjourney and Zyte and were not "made in the course of formulating a common legal strategy." Nidec Corp. v. Victor Co. of Japan, 249 F.R.D. 575, 579-89 (N.D. Cal. 2007) (emphasis removed, internal quotations omitted). Midjourney shall produce Exhibit G in unredacted form.

The entry's text: ORDER by Magistrate Judge Lisa J. Cisneros: The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs and Runway's 645 letter brief regarding Plaintiffs' responses to Interrogatory No. 13. Broadly speaking, the Court agrees with Runway that Plaintiffs must do more to identify their customers and update their interrogatories accordingly. A party has "an obligation to conduct a reasonable inquiry into the factual basis of its discovery responses," and is "generally charged with knowledge of what its agents know, or what is in records available to it." Nat'l Acad. of Recording Arts & Scis., Inc. v. On Point Events, LP, 256 F.R.D. 678, 680 (C.D. Cal. 2009); F.D.I.C. v. Halpern, 271 F.R.D. 191, 193 (D. Nev. 2010). "A party cannot limit its interrogatory answers to matters within its own knowledge and ignore information immediately available to it or under its control." Halpern, 271 F.R.D. at 193. Consistent with these principles, Plaintiffs must respond to Interrogatory No. 13 fully, based on information within their own knowledge and information that is reasonably accessible, including information possessed by their agents or otherwise under Plaintiffs' control. However, the Court is cognizant of the burden on Plaintiffs. Unlike Plaintiffs' requests to Runway, which required Runway to identify and provide information about a discrete list of 84 enterprise partners, Runway wants Plaintiffs to identify all customers for their Asserted Works since 2020. As Plaintiffs explain, providing this information would be unduly burdensome and thus run afoul of Rule 26(b). ECF No. 645 at 6. The parties are accordingly ordered to meet and confer to identify a narrow subset or subsets of customers (for example, based on type of customer, timeframe, or revenue) that each Plaintiff must identify, and Plaintiffs shall supplement their responses accordingly. The parties shall meet and confer by July 17, 2026, and Plaintiffs shall supplement their responses within fourteen days of the conclusion of their conferral efforts.

The entry's text: ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Katherine Polk Failla from Andrew H. Schapiro dated 7/13/2026 re: I write to address Plaintiffs Reply argument. ENDORSEMENT: The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs' motion to compel Defendant to produce certain data repositories (Dkt. #138, 139), Defendant's initial response (Dkt. #146-149), Plaintiffs' reply (Dkt. #157-160), and Defendant's above surreply (Dkt. #166-169). The Court thanks the parties for their helpful and timely submissions. After reviewing the material, Plaintiffs' motion to compel is DENIED. The Court believes that the burden of the request -- even Plaintiff's narrower request -- is just too great, given the fact that much of the material sought appears to be duplicative. See Chem. Bank v. Affiliated FM Ins. Co., No. 87 Civ. 150 (VLB), 1994 WL 89273, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 16, 1994). The Court is also convinced by Defendant's surreply, which explains why Plaintiffs' "readonly" request is not workable. Given that the material would have to be produced and exported, Plaintiffs' request is far too costly to be justified. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the pending motion at docket entry 165. (Signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla on 7/14/2026) (rro) (Entered: 07/14/2026)

The entry's text: ORDER by Magistrate Judge Lisa J. Cisneros: Per the request at ECF No. 644, the Court clarifies that Section 11 of the ESI Protocol permits Plaintiffs to make up to 200 hyperlink requests per each of the four Defendants. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not in any way authorize Plaintiffs to make additional requests for hyperlinked documents, but does require Defendants to produce documents in response to Plaintiffs' requests for "a further round of hyperlinked documents" Plaintiffs requested "before the end of fact discovery," assuming Plaintiffs' requests did not exceed 200 hyperlinks per Defendant.

The entry's text: ORDER by Magistrate Judge Lisa J. Cisneros: The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs and Runway's 641 discovery brief. As it has agreed to do, Runway shall supplement its responses to Interrogatory Nos. 2, 5, and 6 no later than July 15, 2026. Runway's response to Interrogatory No. 6 shall identify the CLIP model used by each at-issue model, and, for each CLIP model, specify the name, version number, origin of the model, and a description of any training, fine-tuning, or other customizations or adjustments Runway made. Plaintiffs and Runway may file joint status report by July 21, 2026, if Plaintiffs contend Runway's supplemental responses are still deficient. The Court disagrees with Runway that revenue information for the 84 enterprise customers is irrelevant, as this may bear on the "extent of market harm" to Plaintiffs. Kadrey v. Meta Platforms, Inc., 788 F. Supp. 3d 1026, 1051 (N.D. Cal. 2025) (quoting Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 590 (1994)). Nor is the Court persuaded that providing this information for 84 enterprise customers would be unduly burdensome. Runway shall provide this information, as well as the dates during which each enterprise customer had a contract with Runway, within fourteen days of this Order.
