May 10, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 55 ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS' EX PARTE APPLICATION TO QUASH PLAINTIFF'S DEPOSITION SUBPOENA OF JEREMIAH SIEDMAN by Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian: denying #49 Ex Parte Application to Quash Subpoena. First, after considering Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3)(A)(iv) and the factors set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1)-(2), the Court is not persuaded that the deposition of Jeremiah Seidman would be unduly cumulative or burdensome (even assuming defendants have standing to assert that the deponent himself would suffer an undue burden). Second, the Court rejects defendants' challenge to the service of the subpoena upon the deponent - a non-party - because they fail to demonstrate that they have standing to challenge such service. Third, to the extent defendants seeks to quash the subpoena because plaintiff served defendants with the deposition subpoena and notice only via email, the Court likewise declines to quash the subpoena on such basis.
