COURTHOUSE,
April 2 –
In Drake's lawsuit
against UMG for Kendrick
Lamar's song "Not Like Us," a
hearing was held on April 2
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Jeannette N.
Vargas. She denied UMG's
motion to stay discovery.
Inner City Press was there,
from the thread:
Judge Vargas: You
say there are 16 RFP [Requests
for Production] pending - any
third party discovery?
Drake's Willkie
Farr lawyer: We've served
three third-party subpoenas,
and we are trying to serve a
fourth. They will go forward
is discovery is not stayed
Judge Vargas: I
cannot find on that basis that
a stay of discovery is
warranted. Here there is only
one defendant, which weighs
against staying discovery. UMG
can object to individual
requests. The motion to
stay discovery is denied.
