) DEFENDANT BOULEVARDS NEW ) MEDIA INC. 'S MOTION TO SHORTEN TIME TO HEAR ITS QUASH, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE MODIFY PLAINTIFF'S SUBPOENAS DUCES TECTUM TO AMERICAN LEASING, INC.; DIABLO CAPITAL; AND BRIDGE BANK, N.A., OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE FOR A STAY OF PRODUCTION WHILE ITS MOTION IS HEARD REGULARLY Date: Time: Courtroom: 5 Judge: Hon. Patricia V. Trumbull
Defendant Boulevards New Media, Incorporated ("BNM") hereby moves this court for an order shortening time for to hear its motion to quash or modify Plaintiff Brant Finley's ("Finley") deposition subpoenas to third parties American Leasing, LP; Diablo Capital; and Bridge Bank, N .A.; or in the alternative, an order staying production of the documents sought in Plaintiff's subpoenas until such time as BNM's motion can be briefed and heard in accordance with Local Rule 7-2(a). Defendant is seeking this order on the grounds that it could not have brought this motion on regular time in any event, and any additional delay is the result of Plaintiff's failure to

meet and confer regarding the deposition subpoenas that are subject to BNM's Motion to Quash. This motion is based on this Notice of Motion and Motion, the Memorandum of Points and Authorities filed herewith, the declaration of Christopher E. Schumb, the pleadings and papers on file herein, and upon such other matters as may be presented to the Court at the time of the hearing.
I.
FACTS
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Finley's counsel has served subpoenas duces tectum on three non-parties who have business relationships with BNM. The subpoenas appear to have been issued on August 5, 2008; however, BNM did not receive copies of them until August 19,2008. (Schumb Dec!.
~4.)
Immediately upon
receipt of the subpoenas, counsel for BNM faxed a meet and confer letter to counsel for Finley, advising that it did not believe that BNM had been properly notified of the issuance of the subpoenas, and that they suffered other defects. (Schumb Dec!.
~6.)
The letter asked for an
immediate response from Finley's counsel due to short time between BNM's receipt of the subpoenas and the compliance date of September 4, 2008. (Id.) Finley's counsel did not respond to the letter until August 27,2008, and did not engage in any type of meaningful attempt to discuss the issues raised in the meet and confer. (Schumb Dec!. 8.) This is despite Finley's counsel to send two other substantive letters in the meantime that requested information that is being sought both in the subpoenas that he has issued, and party discovery that has been issued. (Schumb Dec!.
~7.)
Upon receipt of the August 27, 2008 letter,
BNM, with no alternative but to seek protection of the court to quash the subpoenas attempted to meet and confer with Finely's counsel to agree on a shortened briefing schedule. (Schumb Dec!.
~9.)
These efforts were unsuccessful, and this motion was filed immediately.
II. LEGAL ARGUMENT A. Good Cause Exists For The Court To Shorten Time To Hear BNM's Motion To Quash
The facts of this case show that BNM could have never sought the protection of the court under a regular briefing schedule. Local Rule 7-2(a) requires that all motions shall be filed, served and noticed in writing on the motion calendar of the assigned judge for hearing not less than 35 days after service of the motion. (Civil L.R. 7-2(a).) Plaintiffs subpoenas were issued on August 5, with a production date of September 4, 2008. (Schumb Dec!.
2
~~3,4.)
That provided exactly 30

days for between issuance and response, which makes compliance with the local rules impossible. Exacerbating the situation was that BNM did not receive notice of the subpoenas until August 19, 2008, two weeks following the issuance date and sixteen days before the production date. (Schumb
Decl.~3.)
2
3 4
Further minimizing an already unnecessarily narrow schedule for bringing its motion,
5
was the eight (8) day delay by Finley's counsel in responding to BNM's meet and confer letter regarding the subpoenas. (Schumb Decl.~8.) Upon seeing that Plaintiff had no intention of addressing BNM's concerns regarding the subpoenas, BNM attempted to comply with Local Civil Rule 6-3(a)(2) by reaching a stipulated briefing and argument schedule that was unsuccessful. (Schumb Decl.~9.) If the court does not rule on BNM's motion to quash prior to September 4,2008, the harm that Defendant is attempting to prevent, will have already occurred, and you cannot put toothpaste back in the tube. (King v.

Fidelity Nat'l Bank ofBaton Rouge (5th Cir. 1983) 712 F.2d 188,191, stating that the filing ofa
motion does not postpone production under the subpoena.) To date the parties have submitted a stipulation to the court's case management order that moved, among other deadlines, the discovery deadline that was originally set for October 31, 2008 to December 3,2008. Therefore, an order shortening time will not affect the other events of this case. However, if the court is not inclined to hear this motion on shortened time, BNM, in the alternative, seeks a stay of the subpoenas to have its Motion to Quash heard on a regular briefing schedule.
B. The Court Can Issue A Stay Of The Production While It Considers BNM's Motion
In Fallon v. Locke, Liddell & Sapp, LLP (N.D. Cal., 2007) WL 29040502, the court applied the rule of Landis v. North American Co. (1936) 299 U.S. 248, which states that "[a] district court has discretionary power to stay a proceeding in its own court." (Id. at 254.) Later, the Northern District of California also further explained the grounds that a court should apply in its determination of granting a stay: [a] trial court may, with propriety, find it is efficient for its own docket and the fairest course for the parties to enter a stay of an action before it, pending resolution of independent proceedings which bear upon the case. This rule applies whether the

separate proceedings are judicial, administrative, or arbitral in character, and does not require that the issues in such proceedings are necessarily controlling of the action before the court. Leyva v. Certified Grocers ofCalifornia, Ltd., 593 F.2d 857,863-64 (9th Cir.1979) cert. denied, 444 U.S. 827 (1979). But, the Ninth Circuit has also recently cautioned, "while it is the prerogative of the district court to manage its workload, case management standing alone is not necessarily a sufficient ground to stay proceedings." Dependable Highway Exp., Inc. v. Navigators Ins. Co., 2007 WL 2379611 at 4 (9th Cir.2007) (citing Lockyer, 398 F.3d at 1102).
(Fallon v. Locke, Liddell & Sapp, LLP (Supra) WL 29040502 at 2.)
1. A Stay Of Production Under The Subpoenas Is In The Interest of Justice Plaintiff s discovery to both party defendants encompasses all of the subpoenaed documents. To the extent that something is not produced, the parties will have the opportunity to meet and confer on a curtailed production from the subpoenaed parties that will reduce any undue burden placed on them. In the event that the parties cannot agree through the meet and confer process, they will in all likelihood return to the court with a narrow set of issues to be ruled upon. Again, due to timeframe for the deponents to respond to the subpoenas, BNM could not have brought a motion within the time required by Local Civil Rule 7-2(a). Moreover, due to the highly prejudicial delay of not receiving the subpoenas until August 19,2008, BNM was hardly afforded the opportunity to bring a motion of shortened time. Lastly, the process was further delayed by Mr. Rodriguez' failure to respond to BNM's meet and confer in a timely manner. 2. A Stay Will Not Prejudice Plaintiff There is no discernable prejudice to plaintiff because of the pending party discovery which incorporates virtually every request contained in the subpoenas. The sought after documents will conceivably be produced on or about September 8, 2008, just four days after the responsive date for the subpoenas. Since Mr. Pulcrano's deposition is not set to occur until early October, as long as the hearing can be set before that date so that any sought after documents could be produced in a timely manner, Plaintiff will not be at a loss to proceed with its desired course of discovery.

3. Failure to Issue A Stay If The Motion To Quash Is Not Heard On Shortened Time Will Cause Severe Prejudice to Defendant
2
3
4
If a stay is not granted, BNM will be prejudiced because the deponents will be forced
documents that are irrelevant and of a commercially sensitive nature. Moreover, if the court denies the stay it will allow the production of documents that plaintiffs own discovery deems irrelevant. The discovery responses sent to the parties limits the "relevant time" of this matter to January 1, 2003 to the present, the subpoenas are unlimited by any such restraint. This creates an unquestionable certainty that records which, by plaintiffs own admission have no relevance to this proceeding will be produced. This will result in non-party deponents wasting resources to produce inconsequential records responsive to improperly drawn subpoenas. As a result, sensitive commercial information of defendant will be disseminated to an adversary for review without any legal foundation. III. CONCLUSION Based on the foregoing facts, BNM respectfully requests that this court to hear its motion to quash on shortened time, or in that alternative, grant a stay that will delay compliance with the subpoenas issued by Finley while Defendant's motion can be heard on a briefing schedule in compliance with the Local Rules.

I left a voicemail for Mr. Rodriquez suggesting a date for filing any oppositions on Tuesday, September 2,2008. Due to the urgency in having the subpoenas quashed we have filed the motion. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this _G--'T_ day of August, 2008, at San Jose, California.

Miquel S. Rodriquez Esq. Taylor, Dunham & Burgess, LLP 301 Congress Avenue, Suite 1050 Austin, Texas 78701 Re: Finley v. Boulevards New Media Inc. et al. Dear Mr. Rodriquez: Please consider this as a meet and confer letter regarding three (3) subpoenas your firm has apparently served on American Leasing, Bridge Bank and Diablo capital. Although the subpoenas are dated August 5, 2008 and the transmittal form from QDS is dated August 7, 2008, I just received them by mail today. Interestingly, the envelope they came in was not postmarked until August 18, 2008. This contradicts the proof of service that is attached to the subpoenas. I have enclosed a copy of the envelope with the post mark. Clearly then, you have failed to give Boulevards 30 days notice prior to the production as required under FRCP 34. Not only have you failed to timely serve me with the subpeonas, but you have also failed to comply with FRCP 45(b) (1) which requires that you "must" first give notice to opposing counsel before serving a subpoena for documents. Your failure to do this, especially in light of the confidential financial information that you are seeking, is terribly inappropriate, and appears to me at least, to belie any good faith error. I suggest that you withdraw the three subpoenas immediately, and that we engage in a meet and confer dialogue to ascertain what you need and whether, given the current state of the pleadings, you are entitled to it. We have plenty of time to accomplish this before the discovery cut-off of December 3, 3008

My client has an ongoing business relationship with all of these deponents and that burdening them with this process as well as involving them in the lawsuit could have deleterious consequences for my client. Your failure to give me prior notice that you intended to subpoena records from these deponents prevented us from trying to provide any documents that you are entitled to that in currently in my client's possession, in order to avoid burdening the deponents. Please let me know immediately if you will comply with my request. I would like a response by tomorrow so that, in the event it is in the negative, we can begin to prepare motions to quash and for sanctions.

Dear Mr. Schumb: Each of the third parties who have been served with subpoenas have knowledge of facts in this case and were identified as such in Plaintiff's initial disclosures served on Defendants in April. It is our understanding that notice was mailed to you prior to any service of the subpoenas on American Leasing, Bridge Bank and Diablo Capital. Enclosed please find the original envelope postmarked August 7, 2008 and an affidavit from Violet Byrd which af'finns that mailing date and address. The original notice was mailed to your address as 10 Almaden Blvd., Suite 1250, San Jose, California 95113, This notice was returned with a note from the post office that the forward placed on the address had expired and the notice was returned to the sender. The notice you received with the pOstmark of August 18, 2008 was the second attempt to reach you at the very same address. As evidenced by the affidavit and the original envelope, notice was mailed prior to serving the subpoenas on American Leasing, Bridge Bank and Diablo Capital. Furthennore, your reliance upon FED. R. Cry. P. 34 (requiring 30-days notice) is misplaced as it refers to requests to another party in the litigation. As the subpoenas were directed to third parties the notice provided was sufficient.
