Hearing Planned on Separate Marriott Motions to Compel Discovery

A hearing is set for Friday in U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia in Alexandria on two Marriott International motions to compel discovery from two defendants in its Telephone Consumer Protection Act complaint alleging infringement of Marriott trademarks by robocalling Marriott impersonators (see 2210070013). Marriott counsel “has satisfied the requirements of conferring in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without court intervention,” said the company in its second motion to compel defendant Dynasty Marketing Group to “produce any responsive documents” to its discovery requests. A second defendant, Whisl Telecom, “has produced a mere 82 documents in response to Marriott’s discovery requests which stands in stark contrast to Marriott’s document productions, amounting to over 17,000 pages of documents,” said a separate motion to compel. Friday’s hearing will be held before U.S. Magistrate Judge John Anderson, said a text entry in docket 1:21-cv-00610.
