1         Before the Court is Defendant Thomson Reuters Corporation’s motion to stay discovery.

2    Docket No. 37. Having considered the parties’ briefing and oral argument, the Court denies the

3    motion on the merits.

4         Thomson Reuters’ motion is denied because the Court is not “convinced” that

5    Plaintiffs will be unable to state a claim for relief. See Wood v. McEwen, 644 F.2d 797, 801 (9th

6    Cir. 1981). Also, the motion is denied because Thomson Reuters has failed to demonstrate good

7    cause to stay discovery pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1). See Smith v. Levine

8    Leichtman Cap. Partners, Inc., 2011 WL 13153189, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 11, 2011).

9         Accordingly, discovery on all claims is to proceed.

10

11      IT IS SO ORDERED.
