The court has reviewed the February 22, 2013 joint discovery letter submitted by Plaintiffs

24

Steven Ames Brown and the Estate of Nina Simone and third-party The Orchard Enterprises

25

(“Orchard”) regarding their dispute about a subpoena served on Orchard by Plaintiff Brown.

26

[Docket No. 512.] It is unclear from the joint letter whether Orchard actually has any responsive

27

documents and/or recordings in its possession, custody or control. If it does not, the present

28

discovery dispute may be moot. Therefore, the court orders Orchard to submit a sworn declaration

1

to the court regarding whether it has any documents and/or recordings responsive to the subpoena in

2

its possession, custody or control, regardless of its stated objections. Such declaration shall be filed

3

by no later than March 8, 2013.

Dated: February 28, 2013
