_______________
In these proceedings, plaintiff Michael Williams petitions
for a writ of mandate compelling the superior court to vacate its
limited discovery order entered September 9, 2014, and enter a
new order granting the motion and ordering real party in interest
to produce a list of the names and contact information of its non-
exempt California employees employed since March 22, 2012.
The case is before us on remand from the California Supreme
Court following reversal of our previous decision denying the
petition. (Williams v. Superior Court (2017) 3 Cal.5th 531.)
Pursuant to the Supreme Court’s direction, we vacate our
earlier decision and grant the petition.
DISPOSITION
Our previous opinion in this case, filed on May 15, 2015, is
vacated. The petition is granted. The trial court is directed to
vacate its limited discovery order and enter a new order granting
discovery of the names and contact information of real party in
interest’s non-exempt California employees employed since
March 22, 2012.
Petitioner shall receive his costs on appeal.
