`Subject: RE: Orca v. Wiz - Teleconference with Judge
`
`Praatika,
`
`
`Following up on your email from April 24, we disagree with your characterization of the “interim deadline” issue. In
`particular, Wiz’s assertion that Orca never proposed specific interim deadlines for Wiz’s productions and responses to
`interrogatories is not true. Orca did propose specific deadlines, which Wiz promptly rejected and refused (repeatedly) to
`provide alternatives. For example, Orca’s March 29 discovery letter specifically requested that Wiz “produce at least the
`scope of responsive documents it has agreed to” and “supplemental responses” to Orca’s interrogatories “by April 4,
`2024.” 2023.03.29 Davis Letter. Wiz expressly rejected those interim deadlines, stating “Wiz does not expect to make a
`production by April 4, 2024.” 2024.04.02 Lacey Letter at 4. The parties then met and conferred four times where Orca
`asked Wiz to provide dates certain when it expected to produce documents responsive to Orca’s RFPs and
`interrogatories. Each time, Wiz refused. See K. McKenna email to P. Prasad (April 24, 2024). And while your email
`indicates that Wiz may have been open to additional interim deadlines proposed by Orca, Wiz never made that
`representation on any of the four meet and confers where these issues were discussed.
`
`
`Nevertheless, we have prepared the attached amended ESI order that, among other things, identifies additional specific
`interim deadlines for the parties’ document productions, Wiz’s responses to Orca’s interrogatories, and procedures for
`electronic correspondence discovery (e.g., email and other messaging applications). Please provide your availability next
`Wednesday, April 8, or Thursday, April 9, to discuss. In order for that meet and confer to be productive, please provide
`any edits to the attached amended ESI order no later than Monday, April 6.
`
`
`Best,
`Blake

`Subject: RE: Orca v. Wiz - Teleconference with Judge
`
`
`Krissy,
`
`
`The draft letter for a teleconference says the parties are at an impasse regarding “Setting interim deadlines for
`Defendant’s document productions and responses to Orca’s interrogatories.” The parties have never discussed “interim
`deadlines,” what those deadlines would be or require in terms of production, or the basis for such “interim”
`deadlines. Your citations to correspondence do not at all contradict this. And the negotiated Scheduling Order is silent
`on any “interim deadlines.”
`
`
`Regarding what you do cite, it omits the most relevant parts of our discussions and in fact confirms that the parties are
`not at an impasse on this issue. Wiz has repeatedly made clear that it is not refusing to produce any documents and
`that it expects to roll out its next production by May 10, 2024. Is Orca objecting to May 10 and seeking an earlier
`date? What date? Is Orca demanding a set number of documents by that date or on another date? We have never
`discussed those issues and do not know Orca’s position. During the April 23 meet and confer, Wiz agreed to supplement
`its Interrogatory responses and agreed to provide a date certain for some of those requests in the near future, and Wiz
`stated that Wiz could not provide a date certain for the responses that refer to document productions because Wiz is
`planning to produce documents on a rolling basis. Is Orca demanding a supplemental response within a certain
`number of days of May 10? If yes, why and what date? Again we have never discussed this.
`
`

`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-00758-JLH Document 59-2 Filed 05/13/24 Page 4 of 8 PageID #: 1498
`
`In sum, we have never discussed “interim deadlines,” including some unidentified amount of documents that are
`required to be produced and by what date. To the extent Orca is simply asking for a date certain for Wiz to begin its
`rolling productions, Wiz has already provided estimated dates for that and its interrogatory responses as previously
`discussed.
`
`
`Wiz will not be withdrawing its Issue No. 2. And Wiz further does not agree to the footnote Orca added. If Orca objects
`to Wiz’s revisions to its bullets, it will not agree to allow Orca to annotate Wiz’s issues.
`

`Praatika

`
`
`
`Praatika,
`
`
`We ask that Wiz withdraw its topic 2 because it is wrong and not well taken. Wiz cannot credibly assert that the parties
`have not met and conferred regarding setting interim deadlines for Defendant’s document productions and responses
`to Orca’s interrogatories. The parties have met and conferred repeatedly on Wiz’s failure to produce documents or
`respond to Orca’s interrogatories absent court “deadlines.” For example, it was discussed on the April 12 meet and
`confer and memorialized thereafter. See, e.g., K. McKenna email to C. Lacey (April 15, 2024) (Wiz “refused to commit to
`any dates certain for its productions because it does not see any urgency or need to produce documents absent express
`Court deadlines.”). Leading into our April 18 meet and confer, we asked that Wiz be prepared to “provid[e] any authority
`supporting your failure to produce any documents in response to discovery absent a ‘deadline.’” K. McKenna email to P.
`Prasad (April 17, 2024). Orca attempted to raise the issue at the April 18 meet and confer, which Wiz refused to address,
`as memorialized thereafter. K. McKenna email to P. Prasad (April 22, 2024) (“Wiz provided no basis for its failure to
`produce any additional documents and refused to provide a date certain for any forthcoming document productions.
`When Orca most recently attempted to discuss this issue during the April 18 meet and confer, Wiz refused to discuss
`it.”). Finally, during our April 23 meet and confer, we asked again when Wiz would produce documents and respond to
`Orca’s nine non-contention interrogatories (nos. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16), and Wiz refused to identify any dates
`because it was not aware of any “interim deadlines” requiring such responses.
`
`
`Please let us know by 2pm ET if Wiz will withdraw its issue number 2. If Wiz will not, we have accepted the parties’
`previous edits in the attached draft and added a footnote in redline to Wiz’s issue 2. We also added that the parties met
`and conferred on April 23.
`

`Best,
`Krissy

`
`Krissy,
`
`
`The notion that you can submit a discovery dispute to the Court without meeting and conferring and the parties
`reaching an impasse is contrary to Delaware practice and the Scheduling Order (allowing the parties to file a motion for
`teleconference only where “counsel find, after good faith efforts – including verbal communications among Delaware
`and Lead Counsel for all parties to the dispute – that they are unable to resolve a discovery matter”). If you intend to
`proceed contrary to the Court’s practice, please use the attached updated letter.

`Praatika,
`
`
`We provided Wiz with the draft so Wiz could fill in the issue it desires to present to the Court, as Wiz requested. We are
`not inviting Wiz to revise Orca’s portion of the submission and will not be accepting your edits to Orca’s issues for the
`Court.
`
`
`We also disagree that the parties are not at an impasse regarding either of Orca’s issues. Wiz is welcome to present its
`position on these issues in its 3-page discovery letter in line with the Court’s procedures. See Scheduling Order (D.I. 33)

`
`at 6. Indeed, Orca disagrees with Wiz’s phrasing of its issue (which we maintain the parties are not at an impasse on)
`and will address that in our 3-page letter if Wiz insists on raising it with the Court.
`
`If Wiz disagrees with the format of this motion as drafted, we will file it solely on behalf of Orca. Please confirm by noon
`ET tomorrow (April 24) whether we should remove Wiz’s portion.

`Subject: RE: Orca v. Wiz - Teleconference with Judge
`
`
`Counsel,
`
`
`We write to follow up on your draft. A few points:
`
`
`The first point is argumentative and we object to its phrasing. As a related point, it is unclear how we are on an impasse
`on Wiz’s core technical production when Wiz is in the process of producing code and Orca has yet to even inspect said
`code. Therefore we revised the bullet to limit it to the parties’ discussions of the scope of the source code production.
`
`
`We are not at an impasse on the second issue. Orca has never brought up proposed “interim deadlines” for production
`in any meet and confer. Nor are there any deadlines in the scheduling order. The only deadline is substantial
`completion, which is months away. Wiz has consistently stated it will begin producing documents in a reasonable time
`frame. The parties have also yet to discuss custodial ESI discovery, which likely will constitute additional substantial
`documents by both parties. The parties should confer on a reasonable time to exchange search terms and then, once
`those are finalized, talk about a schedule for rolling productions on said search terms. Please let us know your position
`and we can meet and confer on this issue.
`
`
` A
`
` revised draft motion is attached. Wiz reserves the right to make further edits if Orca makes any additional changes.

`Subject: Orca v. Wiz - Teleconference with Judge
`
`
`Krissy,
`
`I am following up regarding your demand that we provide availability for a teleconference regarding source code. As we
`have repeatedly explained, we do not believe that a teleconference with the judge is appropriate at this stage because
`Orca has refused to provide an explanation for why it views Wiz’s proffer re source code production improper. Wiz still
`intends to produce source code this week. But given your insistence that we provide availability for a conference, we are
`available on the following dates after 1 pm ET: May 2, 3, 7, or 8.
`
`
`Wiz intends to raise its issues at the same time, including Orca’s refusal to produce any source code at this time. Please
`send us a draft of the motion for teleconference so we can add in our issues.
