Judge Sets Motion Hearing for DOJ, Google To Resolve Source Code Issues

U.S. Magistrate Judge John Anderson set a motion hearing, if it's necessary, for June 15 on DOJ’s motion to compel production of successor-custodian documents and relevant source code in DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit against Google over its digital advertising business, said his Tuesday order (1:23-cv-00108) in the U.S. District Court for Virginia in Alexandria. At a June 2 hearing, the parties said they had resolved a dispute over successor-custodian documents and a portion of the remaining issues in the pending motion. Anderson deferred ruling on the remaining issues and asked the parties to continue efforts to resolve remaining issues, with a status report due Tuesday.
