No. 2:14-cv-2722 JAM CKD PS
v.
ORDER
MICHAEL DEMARTINI, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
Plaintiffs have noticed for hearing on shortened time a motion to quash a subpoena of
17
18
legal counsel. Because oral argument is not of material assistance, this matter is submitted on the
19
briefs. E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(g). Upon review of the joint statement and exhibits submitted in
20
connection with the motion, and good cause appearing therefor, THE COURT FINDS AS
21
FOLLOWS:
22
Defendants have served a subpoena for deposition of Diepenbrock Elkin Gleason, LLP on
23
November 16, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. The subpoenaed law firm represents plaintiff in active litigation
24
in an action pending in the County of Marin. Defendants advance no argument and make no
25
showing justifying deposition of litigation counsel who represent plaintiffs in an unrelated matter.
26
See generally Shelton v. American Motors Corp., 805 F.2d 1323 (8th Cir. 1986).
