Re: Twitter, Inc. v. Elon R. Musk et al.,
C.A. No. 2022-0613-KSJM
Dear Counsel:
This letter resolves issues raised in the August 19, 2022 letter to the court from
Defendants Elon R. Musk, X Holdings I, Inc., and X Holdings II, Inc. (“Defendants”),
which this decision refers to as Defendants’ “Third Discovery Motion.” The motion seeks
to compel Plaintiff Twitter, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) to collect and review documents from a more
extensive date range. 1

C.A. No. 2022-0613-KSJM, Docket (“Dkt.”) 189 (Defs.’ Third Disc. Mot.); see also Dkt.
232 (Pl.’s Opp’n to Defs.’ Third Disc. Mot.).
C.A. No. 2022-0613-KSJM

I have carefully reviewed Defendants’ Third Discovery Motion and Plaintiff’s
response. Given the timing of Defendants’ demand that Plaintiff expand its date range, the
additional burden it would place on Plaintiff, the large volume of documents produced by
Plaintiff to date, and the outcome of Defendants’ Second Discovery Motion, the Third
Discovery Motion is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Sincerely,
/s/ Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick
Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick
Chancellor
