KAREN YADIRA RODRIGUEZ GUTIERREZ, on behalf of herself and on behalf of her child, J.G., et al., Plaintiffs, v. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
In its memorandum in opposition [Dkt. No. 21] to plaintiffs' motion [Dkt. No. 14] for limited discovery, defendants state that plaintiffs have served on Attorney General Sessions and on the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement ("ORR") subpoenas for testimony and production of documents at the hearing now scheduled for September 20, 2018. They ask the Court to quash the subpoenas. They also make reference to subpoenas that may have been served on third party Crittenton Services for Children and Families ("Crittenton").
A request to quash a subpoena must be made by separate motion and may not be contained in an opposition to another party's motion. FED. R. CIV. P. 7(b)(1), 45(d)(3). The United States may file a motion to quash any subpoenas that have been served on it or its agents. It may incorporate by reference any relevant argument already set forth in Docket No. 21. Third party Crittenton may file its own separate motion to quash any third party subpoenas that it may have received. The remainder of the motion for limited discovery [Dkt. No. 14] will be dealt with in a separate order.
SO ORDERED.
