Case No. 2:08-cv-00863-RCJ-GWF
ORDER
Emergency Motion for Protective
Order (#372)

14

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion for Protective Order

15

(#372), filed on March 2, 2012. Defendants filed a timely Opposition (#384) on March 5, 2012.

16

Plaintiff filed a timely Reply (#403) on March 15, 2012. Plaintiff challenges Defendants’

17

Subpoena to non-party Delphi Healthcare Partners, Inc. (“Delphi”) as untimely. Plaintiff also

18

argues the information sought is privileged.

19

The discovery cutoff in this matter was February 21, 2012. Plaintiff represents Defendants

20

issued their subpoena on February 29, 2012. The Court, however, accepts Defendants’

21

representation that Plaintiff did not disclose Delphi as a witness until the last day of the discovery

22

cutoff. Furthermore, the instant Motion is moot because Delphi has already disclosed the

23

documents subpoenaed. Finally, the Court finds that the information Defendants sought was not

24

privileged. Accordingly,
