Overview
- Judge Jeannette Vargas ordered Redfin to explain by 5 p.m. Thursday why certain documents it already produced should remain under seal.
- She rejected Compass’s bid for drafts of Glenn Kelman’s blog post and for an unredacted Redfin–Zillow rental syndication agreement.
- The court found it lacks authority to enforce the subpoenas because they set Bellevue, Washington, as the place of compliance.
- Redfin has argued the requests are privileged, irrelevant and unduly burdensome, saying a nonparty should not be forced to act as an unpaid expert.
- Expedited discovery continues ahead of a Nov. 18 hearing on Compass’s request to preliminarily block Zillow’s policy, with Redfin saying it has not implemented its private‑listing restrictions.
