October 5, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 54 MOTION to Clarify re #51 Order on Motion for Preliminary Injunction by DONALD J. TRUMP, LOUIS DEJOY, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (Attachments: #1 Declaration Suppl. Glass. Dec., #2 Text of Proposed Order)(Borson, Joseph)
October 2, 2020 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER granting #38 Motion for Discovery, Motion to Expedite Discovery. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 "vests the trial judge with broad discretion to tailor discovery narrowly and to dictate the sequence of discovery." Watts v. SEC, 483 F.3d 501, 507 (D.C. Cir. 2007) (quoting Crawford-El v. Britton 523 U.S. 574, 598 (1998)). Courts typically consider five factors when evaluating a motion for expedited discovery under the good-cause standard: "(1) whether a preliminary injunction is pending; (2) the breadth of the discovery requests; (3) the purpose for requesting the expedited discovery; (4) the burden on the defendants to comply with the requests; and (5) how far in advance of the typical discovery process the request was made." Guttenberg v. Emery, 26 F. Supp. 3d 88, 98 (D.D.C. 2014) (quoting In re Fannie Mae Derivative Litig., 227 F.R.D. 142, 14243 (D.D.C. 2005)). Courts are not limited to these factors, but the factors provide "guidelines for the exercise of the Court's discretion." Id. The Court finds that the good-cause standard is met here. As an initial matter, the Court notes that plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction has been granted. See Order, ECF No. 51. Second, the Court has reviewed the discovery requests and has determined that they are narrow and carefully targeted to discover the facts necessary for plaintiffs to establish their claims and rebut anticipated defenses. The Court also notes that the parties state that they have agreed that plaintiffs may rely on discovery provided by the defendants in similar actions, specifically Pennsylvania v. DeJoy, No. 20-cv-4096 (E.D. Pa.) and Washington v. Trump, No. 20-cv-3127 (E.D. Wash.). Third, the purpose for requesting the expedited discovery supports granting plaintiffs' motion given the imminence of the election and that there are two claims for which plaintiffs did not seek a preliminary injunction. Fourth, while defendants contend that it will be burdensome to comply, they mostly contend that the requests are duplicative and overlapping, or potentially overlapping. However, as noted above, the parties have agreed to avoid duplicative discovery and plaintiffs' requests for production specifically excludes documents already provided in the similar actions noted above. Furthermore, the time-frame for plaintiffs' requests is limited to a three month period of time. Fifth, while the discovery requests here are being made in advance of the typical discovery process, plaintiffs state they anticipate seeking expedited resolution of their claims given the imminence of the election. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that defendants shall serve any objections to plaintiffs' discovery requests by no later than October 7, 2020; and it is FURTHER ORDERED that defendants shall serve their written responses and shall produce all documents responsive to plaintiffs' discovery requests by no later than October 13, 2020; and it is FURTHER ORDERED that depositions shall be taken by no later than October 16, 2020. The parties shall coordinate with the plaintiffs in Vote Forward v. DeJoy, 20-cv-2405, with regard to the taking of depositions. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 10/2/2020. (lcegs3)
