SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 24-cv-22374-CMA-LMR
BEAZLEY USA SERVICES, INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.
STEPHAN VIEIRA,
Defendant.
/
ORDER OVERRULING NON-PARTY PLANNER SERVICES, LLC’S
OBJECTION TO SUBPOENA
THIS MATTER came before the Court on Plaintiff Beazley USA Services, Inc.’s
(“Plaintiff” or “Beazley”) request for an order compelling Non-Party Planner Services, LLC’s
(“Planner”) to comply with a subpoena dated November 15, 2025 (the “Planner Subpoena”), it is
hereby,
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1.
Beazley served the Planner Subpoena to Planner in this lawsuit, seeking documents
relevant to its claims against its former employee Defendant Stephan Vieira. Planner objected to
the subpoena on the grounds that certain agreements it entered into, which name Beazley as a
party, include choice-of-law and forum selection clauses that provide that any controversy between
the parties to those agreements must be brought in Brazil and that the agreements are governed by
Brazilian law, which is more restrictive regarding discovery than is U.S. law.
2.
Planner’s objection to the Planner Subpoena on grounds that the choice-of-law
provisions and forum-selection clauses contained in certain agreements is hereby OVERRULED.
The Planner Subpoena was issued in this case, which seeks documents relevant to this case, in
which Planner is not a party. The Planner Subpoena is a request for these documents, and not itself
a controversy or claim against Planner that may be subject to the clauses relied upon by Planner.
3.
Planner shall produce all documents responsive to the requests set forth in the
Planner Subpoena within 14 days of entry of this Order.
DONE AND ORDERED in Miami, Florida, this 27th day of January, 2025.
