IN RE APPLICATION OF WILLIAM BARNEY PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 1782 FOR THE TAKING OF DISCOVERY FOR USE IN A FOREIGN PROCEEDING, Applicant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In December 2022, the Court granted William Barney's ex parte application for an order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1782 authorizing service of subpoenas for documents on Google LLC and Meta Platforms, Inc. See Dkt. No. 23. The Court directed Google and Meta to notify and serve a copy of the subpoena and the Court order on the account holder(s), and provided the account holder(s) 21 days from the date of the notice to file a motion contesting the subpoena. As of the date of this order, no such motion has been filed. The Court therefore DIRECTS the parties TO SHOW CAUSE why the case should not be closed. Mr. Barney and any interested party shall file a statement of two pages or less by June 16, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
