ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on “Nonparty Karen Davies’ Motion to Quash
Subpoena” (document #1) filed July 21, 2020, as well as the parties’ briefs and exhibits.
On July 8, 2020, Respondent served a Subpoena on Petitioner in an action it brought against
its former CEO Bruce Teal in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida,
Civil Action No. 1:19CIV-24656. The Subpoena seeks certain documents and electronically
stored information, some of which Davies has produced or agreed to produce. The Subpoena also
seeks production of her personal computer for a forensic imaging and search by Respondent.
On July 21, 2020, Petitioner filed her Motion to Quash the Subpoena.
The Court has carefully considered the record, the authorities, and the parties’ arguments.
For the reasons stated in Petitioner’s briefs, the Motion is GRANTED and the Subpoena is
QUASHED. However, the Subpoena is quashed WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Respondent’s
right to serve an amended subpoena consistent with the proposal Petitioner made through her
counsel’s email dated July 29, 2020. See “Affidavit of James C. Smith,” Exhibit D (document
#11-4).
