ORDER RE FACEBOOK’S REQUEST
FOR REISSUANCE OF AMENDED
LETTERS ROGATORY
Re: Dkt. No. 245

17
18

Facebook requests that this court re-issue amended letters rogatory as to 4 witnesses in

19

England. Having reviewed the request, this court is prepared to grant Facebook’s request, but

20

notes the following:

21

1. Section VII.A. of each letter states that written evidence and documents are to be sent

22

to this court. The court has modified this section in each letter to show the court’s full

23

street address.

24

2. Each letter references several exhibits, but Facebook has not provided copies of those

25

exhibits to this court. Nor has Facebook clearly identified (i.e., by docket number)

26

what documents it has in mind, and this court is not going to guess. To the extent

27

Facebook wants the letters to be sent along with the referenced exhibits, it shall provide

28

those exhibits to the court forthwith.

1

3. With respect to the redacted versions of the Vaney and Batchelor letters, this court

2

assumes that Facebook does not want those versions to be sent to England, since

3

Facebook does not specifically say so. Accordingly, this court will sign and file the

4

redacted versions as requested, but will not forward them to the court in England.

5

SO ORDERED.
