Voyager Seeks Stay in Discovery Pending Motion to Dismiss Meta Complaint

Voyager Labs seeks a discovery stay pending the court’s resolution of its motion to dismiss Meta’s data-scraping complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted (see 2304140003), said its motion Tuesday (docket 3:23-cv-00154) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Without the requested stay, Voyager’s responses to Meta’s first discovery requests would be June 21, said the motion. That’s before any yet-to-be-scheduled case management conference, it said. It also predates the court’s July 27 hearing on Voyager’s pending, “case-dispositive” motion to dismiss, it said. It would be “unfairly prejudicial and inefficient” to require Voyager to engage in discovery before the court has held a case management conference or had the opportunity to consider the “case-dispositive arguments” in Voyager’s motion to dismiss, it said.
