MINUTE ORDER granting #20 Motion for Expedited 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. 31. 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. Plaintiffs shall ensure that they do not request discovery that has already been 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 the claim for which plaintiffs did not seek a preliminary injunction. Fourth, while defendants contend that it will be burdensome on them to comply, they mostly contend that the requests are duplicative and overlapping, or potentially overlapping. However, the Court has directed plaintiffs to ensure they do not request duplicative discovery. Fifth, while the discovery requests here are being made in advance of the typical discovery process, expedited resolution is appropriate 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 State of New York v. Trump, 20-cv-2405, with regard to the taking of the depositions. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 10/2/2020. (lcegs3)
