`
`RESPONDING DEFENDANTS’ RESPONSE TO END-PAYOR
`PLAINTIFFS’ OBJECTIONS TO MASTER’S ORDER REGARDING
`MOTION TO MODIFY STIPULATED ORDER OF DISCOVERY
`
`The undersigned Defendants respectfully request the Court overrule
`
`the objections by end-payor plaintiffs (“EPPs”) to the Master’s October 8, 2014
`
`Order (the “Order” or “Master’s Order”) on EPPs’ motion to modify the Stipulated
`
`Order of Discovery of December 23, 2013 (Dkt. 664) (the “DOJ Discovery Stay”
`
`or “the Stay”), as modified by the Court’s Order of June 25, 2014 (Dkt. 750). The
`
`Master’s Order granted EPPs’ request to serve an interrogatory upon defendants
`
`seeking identification of the makes and models for the motor vehicles whose parts
`
`were included in guilty pleas negotiated with the DOJ, but sensibly limited the
`
`relief to cases “where discovery is underway,” and further ruled that “Defendants
`
`

`

`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 853, PageID.11459 Filed 10/27/14 Page 2 of 19
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`retain whatever rights they may have to object to the requested discovery in their
`
`particular cases.” Dkt. 835.
`
`The EPPs seek to drastically expand the Order by requiring all
`
`defendants that have pleaded guilty or agreed to plead guilty in the context of a
`
`DOJ investigation to “substantively respond” to the interrogatory. Dkt. 837 at 1-2.
`
`Thus, while styled as a request to “modify” the DOJ Discovery Stay, the EPPs’
`
`proposed order goes much further: It seeks to accelerate discovery in all “cases
`
`that are presently or become part” of this MDL, to strip defendants of their right to
`
`object to such discovery, and to deprive many defendants of the benefit of
`
`negotiated agreements with EPPs to stay proceedings pending filing of amended
`
`complaints. Dkt. 837-2 at 1. EPPs’ proposed modification to the Master’s Order
`
`should be overruled for the following reasons:
`
`First, the Master’s ruling is consistent with the existing DOJ
`
`Discovery Stay adopted by the Court. The Stay requires that any discovery “be
`
`conducted in accordance with the case management order and discovery schedule
`
`applicable to the particular case.” Dkt. 664 at 5 (emphasis added). Moreover, it
`
`“does not foreclose any party from objecting on any grounds available to it under
`
`the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure . . . or supersede any other stay of or
`
`limitation on discovery that may be imposed in any existing or subsequent case
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 853, PageID.11460 Filed 10/27/14 Page 3 of 19
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`management order or discovery schedule . . . .” Id.1 EPPs’ proposed order, in
`
`contrast, would not only authorize EPPs to prematurely serve their proposed
`
`interrogatory in cases in which a discovery schedule has neither been negotiated
`
`among the parties nor entered by the Court, but also preclude defendants from
`
`interposing any valid objections in response.
`
`Second, the Master’s Order recognizes that the various product cases
`
`in this MDL are differently situated, by design of the parties and the Court and by
`
`virtue of the nature of EPPs’ allegations. Motions to dismiss have not yet been
`
`briefed, let alone decided, in many cases. In others, proceedings are effectively
`
`stayed by agreement of the parties (including EPPs) pending the filing of amended
`
`complaints.2 And within particular cases, not all defendants are in the same
`
`
`1
`The undersigned defendants also opposed EPPs’ original motion to modify
`the DOJ Discovery Stay “[t]o the extent that the [EPPs] . . . seek a blanket
`order authorizing service of the proposed interrogatory in all product cases
`and requiring Defendants in all product cases to respond to the proposed
`interrogatory” and “reserve[d] – as the DOJ Discovery Stay already
`contemplates – any other objections that may be available to them in their
`respective cases . . . as well as objections addressed to the specific substance
`of the [EPPs’] request.” Dkt. 804 at 1-2.
`
`2
`
`Defendants in many actions waived service or agreed to accept service in
`exchange for EPPs agreeing to stay the proceedings pending the filing of an
`amended consolidated complaint. See, e.g., Stipulation and Order Regarding
`Accepting Service of Complaints and Extension of Time, Barron v. Koito
`Mfg. Co., Ltd., No. 2:13-cv-12483-MOB-MKM (E.D. Mich. Nov. 21, 2013),
`ECF No. 7; Stipulation and Order Regarding Accepting Service of
`Complaints and Extension of Time, Adams v. Diamond Electric Mfg. Co.

`
`

`

`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 853, PageID.11461 Filed 10/27/14 Page 4 of 19
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`position: some have not been properly served, and some might have legitimate
`
`jurisdictional defenses that have not yet been addressed through a motion to
`
`dismiss. EPPs’ proposal for across-the-board discovery is thus unworkable as a
`
`procedural matter. EPPs—who have unquestionably benefitted from stipulated
`
`delays in later-filed cases— should not be permitted to prematurely demand
`
`discovery in cases where motions to dismiss have not yet been resolved solely
`
`because of EPPs’ unfounded prediction that such motions, even those that have yet
`
`to be filed, will be unsuccessful. See Dkt. 837 at 3.
`
`Third, the Master’s ruling is consistent with the Court’s management
`
`of the MDL to date. During his September 16, 2014 conference with the parties,
`
`the Master explained his understanding of the Court’s preference that discovery in
`
`later-filed cases begin after the motion to dismiss phase. Moreover, the Court has
`
`previously recognized how differently the cases and defendants are postured—not
`
`just procedurally, but factually. At the most recent status conference held on
`
`October 8, 2014, the Court emphasized that neither EPPs nor any other plaintiff
`
`groups in this MDL have alleged a single, overarching conspiracy across auto parts
`
`and suppliers. See Hr. Tr. at 28, 80.3 The Court therefore ordered the parties only
`
`
`Ltd., No. 2:13-cv-14173-MOB-MKM (E.D. Mich. Nov. 13, 2013), ECF No.
`7.
`
`3 Many defendants in later-filed cases are named only in one or two product
`cases. By way of example, Diamond Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd. and its U.S.
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 853, PageID.11462 Filed 10/27/14 Page 5 of 19
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`in the Wire Harness cases, which are most advanced, to proceed with a deposition
`
`protocol and class certification schedule. EPPs fail to explain how serving their
`
`proposed interrogatory now in all MDL cases will aid the Court and parties in
`
`coordinating discovery and class certification, which are already moving forward
`
`in earlier-filed cases. Nothing in the Master’s Order forecloses EPPs from serving
`
`the proposed interrogatory in later-filed cases at the appropriate juncture.
`
`Finally, the Court should adopt the Master’s ruling that “all
`
`Defendants retain whatever rights they may have to object to the requested
`
`discovery in their particular cases.” Dkt. 835. EPPs’ request that the Court order
`
`defendants to “substantively respond” to their proposed interrogatory seeks to
`
`preclude defendants from asserting objections—an unreasonable and prejudicial
`
`shortcut of the usual discovery process. Indeed, whether or not the Court
`
`concludes that now is the appropriate time for EPPs to serve their interrogatory on
`
`all defendants in all cases, EPPs have made no showing that defendants should be
`
`unilaterally deprived of their rights under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to
`
`assert objections based on timing, form, substance, or other particularized grounds,
`
`as with all other discovery. Defendants have a fundamental right to object to
`
`
`subsidiary are defendants solely in Ignition Coils, where EPPs have yet to
`file an amended consolidated complaint. See In re Ignition Coils, No. 2:13-
`cv-01403 (E.D. Mich.); Adams v. Diamond Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd., No.
`2:13-cv-14173-MOB-MKM (E.D. Mich.).

`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 853, PageID.11463 Filed 10/27/14 Page 6 of 19
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`discovery, and EPPs cannot steamroll that right with vague and unfounded
`
`assertions of delay and inefficient case management.
`
`Wherefore, the undersigned defendants respectfully request that this
`
`Court overrule EPPs’ objections to, and adopt, the Master’s Order of October 8,
`
`2014.
