January 6, 2022 Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The applicants in this case have filed an ex parte application under 28 USC 1782 seeking permission to serve subpoenas for records and testimony in aid of a civil proceeding pending in the Netherlands. Their only support for doing this ex parte - that is, without letting the opposing litigant know (or, for that matter, the proposed subpoena respondent)- is their contention that such applications are "regularly" granted ex parte. Their citations for this, however, are non-binding and sparse. The Court does not believe they have overcome the general presumption against ex parte proceedings. If the applicants have reasons particularized to this matter why their application should be considered ex parte, they have until 1/12/2022 to file a supplemental memorandum supporting their request for ex parte treatment. Otherwise the Court intends to require service of their application on the opposing litigant prior to its consideration by the Court. The case is set for a telephonic status hearing on 1/14/2022 at 9:15 AM, using call-in number 888-684-8852, access code 746-1053. (mk)
