UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

Youssif KAMAL, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

EDEN CREAMERY, LLC, et al., 

Defendants. 

 Case No.: 18-cv-1298-BAS-AGS 

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION TO QUASH (ECF No. 44) 

Defendants move to quash twelve subpoenas that plaintiffs have served on third 

parties. (ECF No. 44-1, at 4.) But only “the issuing court, and not the court where the 

underlying action is pending, has the authority to consider motions to quash or modify 

subpoenas under [Rule 45].” S.E.C. v. CMKM Diamonds, Inc., 656 F.3d 829, 832 (9th Cir. 

2011). None of these subpoenas were issued in the Southern District of California. (See 

ECF No. 44-5, at 3.) Because this district is not “the district where compliance is required,” 

this Court lacks jurisdiction to rule on defendants’ motion. Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3)(A). 

Thus, defendants’ motion is DENIED without prejudice to being refiled in the 

appropriate districts.
