SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiffs, v. JESSICA RICHMAN, et al., Defendants.
NOTICE AND ORDER REGARDING DISCOVERY PROCEDURES Re: ECF No. 43
LAUREL BEELER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The district judge referred all discovery matters to the undersigned. Defendant Jessica Richman has filed a motion to quash non-party subpoenas duces tecum and for a protective order.The parties must comply with the undersigned's standing order (attached). The dispute procedures in it require, among other things, that if a meet-and-confer by other means does not resolve the parties' dispute, lead counsel for the parties must meet and confer in person (if counsel are local) and then submit a joint letter brief with information about any unresolved disputes. The letter brief must be filed under the Civil Events category of “Motions and Related Filings > Motions - General > Discovery Letter Brief.” After reviewing the joint letter brief, the undersigned will evaluate whether further proceedings are necessary, including any further briefing or argument. The court thus denies without prejudice the motion to quash in favor of this process.
Order - ECF No. 43. Citations refer to material in the Electronic Case File (ECF); pinpoint citations are to the ECF-generated page numbers at the top of documents.
Mot. - ECF No. 42.
The court adds that it also uses the discovery procedures for third-party objections to subpoenas.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
