    Filed November 9, 2010

    [¶] Even assuming that the defendant has standing to raise this objection to the subpoena, a majority of the courts that have dealt directly with the 100-mile issue have held that such a subpoena should be enforced. Id., 264 F.R.D. at 19-20 (citations omitted); see also Ice Corp. v. Hamilton Sundstrand Corp., 2007 WL 1364984, at *3 (D. Kan. May 9, 2007) (quoting Stewart v.

Clift, 2007 WL 214260 (W.D. Wash. January 25, 2007) (holding that even though Rule 45(b)(2) requires service within 100 miles of the place of production or copying of records, a subpoena served in New Jersey for the production of documents in Washington nonetheless was enforced because, pursuant to Rule 45(c)(2)(A), no individual was required to escort the requested records personally); Jett v. Penner, 2007 WL 127790 (E.D. Cal. January 12, 2007) (a request for a file was not quashed, although the file was located more than 100 miles away because the request was only for the file itself and there was no requirement that a nonparty travel more than 100 miles in order to supply it).

    6 The Sony subpoena contained 55 Requests, six of which demanded information related to the Sony PlayStation and Bookman products and were, therefore, inapplicable to PENAC (or even Royal Philips).

As a result of the subpoena and Messrs. Lambert and Wesenberg’s failure to take reasonable steps, non- party PENAC has been forced to: 1) obtain local counsel in the Southern District of New York; 2) file briefs in the Southern District resisting the subpoena; 3) attend a hearing in the Southern District; 4) file its letter brief with this Court; and 5) file the present motion.

  10. Chevron Corporation v. Donziger et al

    RESPONSE to Discovery Request from Chevron.Document

    Filed September 7, 2012

    Patton Boggs further objects that this Request is overly broad and unduly Case 1:11-cv-00691-LAK Document 579 Filed 09/07/12 Page 181 of 190 178 burdensome because it requires Patton Boggs to search its entire active litigation file, without subject-matter or date limitation. Taken on its face, the magnitude of documents sought in the Request, if read literally, and the burden and expense imposed by the collection, review, and production efforts will be extraordinary and thus conflicts with Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c)(1). Patton Boggs also objects to this Request to the extent it calls for documents within the possession, custody, and control of—or available or accessible to—any other individuals or entities other than Patton Boggs.
