FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. AMG SERVICES, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
(Emergency Motion for Protective Order #259,
Set Briefing Deadlines, and Schedule Hearing)
Before the Court is the matter of Federal Trade Commission v. AMG Services, Inc. et al (Case No. 2:12-cv-00536-GMN-VCF).
On November 14, 2012, the FTC filed a Motion to Compel Discovery Responses from Tucker Defendants (#236), a Motion to Compel Discovery Responses from Relief Defendants Kim Tucker and Park 269, LLC (#240), a Motion to Compel Discovery Responses from Timothy J. Muir and Muir Law Firm, LLC (#241), and a Motion to Compel Discovery Responses from the Lending Defendants (#242). On November 21, 2012, the FTC filed an Emergency Motion For Protective Order to Prevent Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition of the FTC scheduled for December 4, 2012. (#253). Also on November 21, 2012, the Lending Defendants filed an Opposition (#254) to the FTC's Motion to Compel (#242).
On November 26, 2012, the court issued an order staying the December 4, 2012, Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of the FTC, setting a briefing schedule on the pending motions (#236, #240, #241, #242 and #253), and scheduling a hearing on the pending motions for December 20, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. (#258). On November 28, 2012, the FTC filed another emergency motion for protective order to prevent a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of the FTC scheduled for December 13, 2012. (#259). The FTC asserts that the deposition notice (#259-1) served by defendant Troy L. LittleAxe is "just as deficient and improper as the Muir deposition notice," and asks this court to strike the deposition notice (#259-1) or apply the briefing and argument schedule from the court's November 26, 2012, order (#258) to the instant motion (#259). Id.
Accordingly, and for good cause shown,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition currently noticed by defendant Troy L. LittleAxe for December 13, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. is STAYED until further order from the court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Tucker Defendants' Opposition to the Motion to Compel (#236), Relief Defendants Kim Tucker and Park 269, LLC's Opposition to the Motion to Compel (#240), and defendants Timothy J. Muir and The Muir Law Firm, LLC's Oppositions to the Motion to Compel (#241) and Emergency Motion for Protective Order (#253) are due on or before November 30, 2012. The FTC's Replies in support of its Motions to Compel (#236, #240, #241, and #242) and Emergency Motion for Protective Order (#253) are due on or before December 10, 2012. Defendant LittleAxe's Opposition to the FTC's Emergency Motion For Protective Order (#259) is due on or before December 5, 2012. The FTC's Reply in support of its Emergency Motion For Protective Order (#259) is due on or before December 12, 2012.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a hearing on all motions listed above is scheduled for December 20, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 3C.
