NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

NATHALIE THUY VAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

LANGUAGE LINE, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-CV-03791-LHK 

ORDER OVERRULING DEFENDANT’S 

OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF’S TRIAL 

SUBPOENA OF MICHAEL SCHMIDT

Re: Dkt. No. 361

On July 25, 2016, Defendant Language Line, LLC (“Defendant”) filed an objection to the 

trial subpoena of Michael Schmidt, which Plaintiff Nathalie Thuy Van (“Plaintiff”) served on 

December 2, 2015. See ECF Nos. 175 (Subpoena); 361 (Defendant’s Objection). After reviewing 

Defendant’s objection, considering the record in the case, and balancing the considerations set 

forth in Federal Rule of Evidence 403, the Court OVERRULES Defendant’s objection to the trial 

subpoena of Michael Schmidt. The Court notes that although Defendant asserts that the required 

witness fee was not paid, Defendant has filed no supporting declaration. However, Defendant 

may object to individual examination questions, for example, questions regarding excluded topics 

such as allegedly forged wage statements.
