No. C 05-4069 SI

ORDER DENYING THIRD-PARTY

GATE GOURMET’S MOTION TO

QUASH WITHOUT PREJUDICE

On November 2, 2006, third party Gate Gourmet (“Gate”) filed a motion to quash plaintiff’s third

party subpoena compelling the deposition of Gate employee Dolores Mejia. The subpoena was served

on October 31, 2006 and required Mejia to appear for a November 3, 2006 deposition. Gate’s motion

was based on the fact that the subpoena failed to allow a “reasonable time for compliance” as required

by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45, and also because plaintiff’s counsel failed to meet and confer

with Mejia or Gate’s counsel regarding scheduling of the deposition. Gate does not raise any other

objection to Mejia’s deposition.

On November 15, 2006, plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion to quash. Plaintiff states that

the November 3, 2006 deposition did not occur because inter alia, plaintiff’s counsel was ill. Plaintiff

also states that prior to serving the subpoena, plaintiff met and conferred with defendant regarding the

Mejia deposition, and that plaintiff is currently meeting and conferring with Gate’s inside and outside

counsel regarding the scheduling of the Mejia deposition.

In light of the representations made in plaintiff’s opposition, it appears that Gate’s objections to

the subpoena are now moot. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Gate’s motion without prejudice to
