Case No. 4:11CV1059 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On May 14, 2012, the Court ordered plaintiff to show cause why defendant’s motion to
quash and/or motion for protective order [#25] should not be granted. By subsequent Order,
plaintiff was granted additional time to respond to the Order to Show Cause. Her response was
due on June 15, 2012. On June 15, 2012, plaintiff filed a “motion to quash” and memorandum in
support. It appears that plaintiff is trying to claim that defendant has no standing to file a motion
to quash because he is in default. This argument is devoid of merit and insufficient to
demonstrate that defendant’s motion to quash should not be granted. Because plaintiff has failed
to demonstrate that defendant’s motion to quash should not be granted and the Court finds that
the motion is meritorious, the motion to quash will be granted. To the extent plaintiff’s “motion
to quash” seeks affirmative relief, it will be denied.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant’s motion to quash and/or for protective
order [#25] is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s “motion to quash” [#38] is denied.
