DECISION AND ORDER   Plaintiff irth Solutions, LLC (“Plaintiff”) commenced an action on December 6, 2018, against defendants Apex Data Solutions and Services, LLC, (d/b/a/ “DigTix”) and Kyle Murphy (“Murphy”) (collectively “Defendants”), alleging six causes of action, including a violation of the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. §§1836, et seq.), misappropriation of trade secrets, tortious interference with contractual relations, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, and conversion.1 (ECF No. 1.)

(ECF No. 95.) For the reasons discussed herein, Plaintiff’s motion compel is granted to the extent provided below and Defendants’ cross-motion to compel is granted in part and denied in part.
