CHICAGO (LN) — A U.S. District Court judge in the Northern District of Illinois on Monday granted in part and denied in part a motion to compel in the case of Rivera v. Levy Premium Foodservice Limited Partnership. The court ordered the production of training code that produced deployed machine-learning model artifacts but denied the plaintiffs' request for the development branches of JWO Technology source code.
The order, issued by Judge Gabriel A. Fuentes, stems from litigation where plaintiffs sought broader access to the defendant's proprietary algorithms. The court's minute entry, filed May 18, 2026, clarifies the scope of discovery for the artificial intelligence components of the dispute.
The court specifically denied the request for the development branches of the JWO Technology source code, limiting the plaintiffs' access to the specific training code responsible for the deployed models.
By granting the request for the training code, the court provided a pathway for the plaintiffs to examine the data and processes that produced the machine-learning artifacts used in the case.
The order directs the parties to comply with the production requirements outlined in a forthcoming memorandum opinion and order.
The case remains pending in the Eastern Division of the Northern District of Illinois under docket number 1:25-cv-08242.
