A California magistrate judge has denied Netflix’s motion to compel discovery regarding third-party litigation funding (TPLF) provided to NPE plaintiff GoTV Streaming, LLC. Notably, by the time Netflix’s motion had been fully briefed, GoTV had disclosed the identity of its funder (which according to Magistrate Judge Shashi H. Kewalramani, the plaintiff “probably should have done sooner”) and also produced to the court, in camera, certain TPLF-related documents. In doing so, the NPE effectively rendered moot (per Judge Kewalramani) most of the arguments Netflix made in support of its discovery requests.
