On February 22, 2013, Plaintiffs Steven Ames Brown and the Estate of Nina Simone and

third-party The Orchard Enterprises, Inc. (“Orchard”) submitted a joint discovery letter describing

25

their dispute regarding a subpoena served on Orchard by Plaintiff Brown. [Docket No. 512.] On

26

February 28, 2013, the court ordered Orchard to submit a sworn declaration to the court regarding

27

whether it has any documents responsive to the subpoena in its possession, custody or control.

28

[Docket No. 513.] Orchard subsequently submitted a declaration dated March 7, 2013 by Alexis H.

1

Shapiro, the Senior Vice President, general counsel and secretary of Orchard Enterprises, Inc., in

2

which she states that Orchard does not have any responsive documents in its possession, custody or

3

control. [Docket No. 527.] Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ request for an order compelling the production

4

of documents by Orchard is denied as moot.
