FRANCHESKA BRITT Case No. 1:23-cv-01475-KES-FJS
11 | on behalf of the State of California as a
private attorney general,

12 ORDER RE INFORMAL DISCOVERY
Plaintiff, DISPUTE
13
v. (ECF No. 52)
14
LENNAR CORPORATION, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
17 On October 8, 2026, the court conducted an informal teleconference regarding a discovery

18 | dispute. Counsel Rhonda Wills appeared for Plaintiff Francheska Britt (“Plaintiff”). Counsel
19 | Taylor Morosco and Howard Knee appeared for Defendants Lennar Corporation and Lennar Sales
20 | Corp. (“Defendants”). The parties agreed to conduct this matter through the court’s informal
21 | discovery procedure.

22 The parties’ dispute centers around Plaintiff's interrogatory seeking “the name, address,
23 | email address, telephone number, job position, and dates of employment of each non-exempt
24 | employee who worked for Defendants (one or both of them) in California during the time period
25 | July 10, 2022 through the present, as well as the total number of such employees.” (ECF No. 51
26 | at 1.) Defendants argue that the interrogatory should be limited to sales administrators and sales
27 | concierges because those were the positions implicated by Plaintiff's allegations in her complaint.
