DISCOVERY ORDER
Re: Dkt. No. 661
In a pending joint letter brief, Southwind Foods LLC and Caito Fisheries LLC (the
“Southwind Defendants”) seek a court order that would require Plaintiffs to answer several
contention interrogatories regarding Plaintiffs’ theory of successor liability. Dkt. 661.
After the parties filed their joint letter brief, Plaintiffs and Defendants Caito Fisher-
ies, Inc., John Caito, Joseph Caito, James Caito, and Jeanette Caito (the “Caito Inc. Defend-

Defendants, upon final approval of the settlement, with a limited release of claims that are
based on a theory of successor liability as to Caito Fisheries, Inc. See Dkt. 691-1 § 4(b).
Given the settlement and release, the Court denies without prejudice the Southwind
