Filing 25

Judge George A. OToole, Jr: ORDER entered denying 20 Motion for Contempt; denying 20 Motion to Compel; denying 23 Motion for Order to Show Cause (Danieli, Chris)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
CIVIL ACTION NO. 09-11486-GAO
MARIA MIRANDA,
Plaintiff,
v.
BRIAN SWEET,
Defendant.

ORDER
August 12, 2011
O’TOOLE, D.J.
The Massachusetts State Police refused to produce documents for which the plaintiff had
served a subpoena duces tecum. Within fourteen days after the subpoena was served, the
Massachusetts State Police served upon the plaintiff an objection to the plaintiff’s subpoena. Its
subsequent refusal to produce was therefore not improper. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c)(2).
Accordingly, the plaintiff’s Motion (dkt. no. 23) for Order to Show Cause Why the
Massachusetts State Police Should Not be Held in Contempt is DENIED. Furthermore, for the
reasons stated in open court, the plaintiff’s Motion (dkt. no. 20) for Contempt and to Compel
Production of Documents is DENIED.
It is SO ORDERED.
