MEMORAUM IN SUPPORT OF 

JOINT MOTION OF RESPONDENT AN ENERSYS FOR LEAVE OF COURT TO 

CONDUCT DEPOSITIONS OF ENERSYS AN ENERSYS EMPLOYEES 

AFTER THE DISCOVERY DEADLIN 

Respondent Polyp 
 ore International, Inc. ("Respondent") and EnerSys 

(collectively, "Movants") respectfully submit ths memorandum in support of 
 their joint motion 

for leave of Cour to allow Respondent to depose EnerSys and Lar Axt, Lar Burkert, John
 

Gagge and John Craig ("EnerSys Employees") after the discovery deadline of 
 Febru 13, 

2009. 

As set forth below, Movants respectfully submit that such an Order effects a fair 

compromise of Movants' respective interests and will not result in any undue delay of the tral of 

this matter. 

FACTUAL BACKGROUN 

On October 22, 2008, the Cour issued a Scheduling Order, scheduling the Close 

of Discovery for Februar 13,2009. 

Respondent's counsel represents that on or about November 6,2008, Respondent 

served by certified mail a subpoena duces tecum on EnerSys, requesting the production of 

documents in connection with ths matter on November 25,2008 (the "Document Subpoena"). 

1 

SLl 895799v2/0084.00930 
On November 7, 2008, EnerSys' counsel received the Document Subpoena from 

counsel for 
 the F.T.C.1 

On November 14,2008, EnerSys filed with the Secreta of the Federal Trade 

Commssion a Motion to Extend Time in Whch to Move to Limt Subpoena Served by 

Respondent Upon Thd Par and to Seek Cost Reimbursement. On November 17,2008, the 

Cour granted that motion and allowed EnerSys to file such a motion by December 16, 2008. 

On December 16, 2008, after counsel for Respondent and EnerSys had conferred 

regarding the Document Subpoena, EnerSys moved this Cour for an award of attorneys' fees or 

to limt the Document Subpoena. On December 24, 2008, Respondent filed its opposition to 

EnerSys' motion for attorneys' fees or to limt. EnerSys' motion for attorneys' fees and to limt 

is pending before the Cour. 

Respondent's counel represents that on or about December 29,2008, Respondent 

served by certified mail its subpoenas ad testificandum directed to EnerSys and the EnerSys 

Employees. On Janua 2, 2009, EnerSys accepted service of 
 Respondent's subpoenas ad 

testificandum directed to EnerSys and the EnerSys Employees (the "Deposition Subpoenas"), but 

reserved all rights to object. See Exhbit 1. Specifically, Respondent subpoenaed four EnerSys 

witnesses and a corporate designee of EnerSys with regard to 15 topics. See Exhbit 1.
 

Respondent's subpoenas scheduled depositions in Philadelphia, Pennylvana on Janua 26-28, 

2009. See Exhbit 1. 

On Janua 7, 2009, counsel for Respondent emailed counsel for EnerSys: 

I have not heard from you on the depositions since I forwarded the 

subpoenas to you. I need to comir the depositions with you. We 

are under a tight schedule and intend to proceed with the 

On November 17,2008, EnerSys received and signed for the Document Subpoena, which it had previously 

received from counel for the F.T.C. 

2 

sLl 895799v2/00844.00930
 

/~ 
Exhbit 2. 

depositions as noticed. We will leave the depositions open due to 

EnerSys' failure to produce documents to us and will seek our costs 

in relation to resumg those depositions. 

Later that day, counsel conferred by telephone. Counsel for EnerSys stated that: 

· Given the pendency of the motion regarding the document subpoena, 

Respondent was unikely to have an opportty to review EnerSys'
 

documents by the dates of the depositions. 

· That EnerSys had not begu a review of its documents due to the 

pendency of 
 its motion for attorneys' fees and to limt the Subpoena 

(which sought - as one option - an order compelling a procedure whereby 

Respondent reviews the documents prior to EnerSys' review). 

· Conducting two rounds of depositions (before and afer the document 

production) would impose an undue burden on EnerSys and be costly and 

ineffcient for EnerSys, Respondent and the F.T.C. 

· EnerSys would not agree to produce its witnesses twce uness the Cour 

ordered it to do so. 

· Respondent would not be entitled to recover costs from EnerSys in any 

event, as EnerSys had filed a valid and timely motion and was not 

noncompliant with any of its obligations under either the document 

subpoena or FTC Practice Rules. 

· One witness, EnerSys' Chief 
 Executive Offcer John Craig, was scheduled 

to be in Hawaii on business the week of the noticed depositions, has 

prepaid airline tickets, and was therefore unavailable at that time. 

· The wife ofEnerSys' lead counsel, Neil Schur, is pregnant with a due-date _
 

of Janua 28,2009. Given Mr. Schur's famliarty with the facts of 
 ths 

matter, EnerSys has requested that the depositions be scheduled so that he 

may prepare witnesses and defend them at the depositions and so that 

EnerSys may avoid prejudice. 

· EnerSys requested that the depositions be held in Reading, Pennsylvana, 

rather than Philadelphia, to reduce the burden on EnerSys and the hotel 

costs of 
 Respondent and the F.T.C. EnerSys' counsel offered to host the 

depositions or appear for same at a neutral location (law offce, cour 

reporter's offce or hotel conference room) in Reading. Doing so would 

requie two lawyers to travel to Readig, rather than requig four 

witnesses to travel to Philadelphia. 

3 

SLl 895799v2/00844.00930
 
Counsel for Respondent replied that it appreciated these concerns, disagreed with 

EnerSys' position on Respondent's right to leave the depositions open until EnerSys produced its 

documents pursuant to the Subpoena, and needed to complete discovery by Februar 13, 2009.
 

Counsel for Respondent explaied that without relief from this Cour, under the curent schedule, 

Respondent has no alternative but to proceed with the EnerSys and EnerSys Employees 

depositions and attempt to leave them open to permt fuer examation once EnerSys has 

produced its documents as requested by the Document Subpoena. Counsel for Respondent 

ageed to hold the depositions in Readig, Pennsylvana. Counsel also discussed a possible joint 

motion for leave of Cour to conduct depositions of EnerSys and its employees afer the 

discovery deadline, in view of the delay caused by the dispute regarding the EnerSys documents. 

Following fuer efforts to meet and confer, Respondent and EnerSys
 

respectfly submit this Joint Motion.
 

ARGUMENT 

Pertent Le2al Authoritv
 

F.T.C. Practice Rule 3.21(c)(2) expressly provides: "The Admstrative Law 

Judge may grant a motion to extend any deadline or time specified in this scheduling order only 

upon a showig of good cause." 16 C.F.R. § 3.31(c)(2) (2008). 

F.T.C. Practice Rule 3.31 
 (d)(1) expressly provides that the "Admstrative Law 

Judge may deny discovery or make any order which justice requies to protect a par or other
 

person from anoyance, embarassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense, or to prevent 

undue delay in the proceeding." 16 C.F.R. § 3.31(d)(1) (2008). 

4 

SLl 895799v2/00844.00930
 
The Court Should Give Respondent Leave
 

to Depose EnerSvs Mter the Discovery Deadlie
 

Given the circumstaces set fort above, Movants respectfully submit that the 

Cour should give Respondent leave to depose EnerSys employees and designees afer the fact 

discovery deadline of Febru 13,2009.
 

Because EnerSys' motion regarding documents and attorneys' fees is pending, it 

is unclear when EnerSys' document production will be complete. Proceeding with depositions 

prior to EnerSys' production of documents will result in ineffciencies and unecessar cost, 

expense and burden on EnerSys, Respondent and the F.T.C. It will also likely lead to motions 

practice before ths Cour regarding the right of Respondent to leave the depositions open and
 

resume them followig the document production, and to seek costs from EnerSys. 

Movants respectfully submit that it makes more sense to wait until the Cour has 

ruled on the pending motion regarding the documents and attorneys' fees, the documents have 

been produced, and Respondent has had an opportty to review them before conducting the 

depositions of EnerSys and the EnerSys Employees. Movants respectfully propose that 

followig that review, Respondent would use its best efforts to depose the EnerSys witnesses 

with foureen (14) days of the receipt by Respondent's counsel of 
 the complete document 

production by EnerSys, and EnerSys would use its best efforts to make its witnesses available to 

be deposed durg that same time period. Movants fuher propose that Respondent would
 

depose each witness one time only for a maximum of seven hours each, in Reading, 

Pennsylvana. 

Doing so also allows the depositions to be scheduled at a tie when EnerSys' 

Chief Executive Offcer, Mr. Craig, is likely to be available and likewise permts EnerSys to be 

5 

SLl 895799v2/00844.00930
 
represented by its lead counsel, Neil Schur, at the depositions, without interferig with his
 

personal need to attend to his wife and baby followig the iment delivery of their child. 

With regard to the scope of the extension, Movants respectfully request that the 

Cour enter an Order in the form submitted herewith, granting the present motion and orderig 

that the depositions of EnerSys and the EnerSys Employees occur after an order has been entered 

on EnerSys' pending motion regarding documents and attorneys' fees, and after EnerSys has 

produced any documents required to be produced pursuant to such order, even if such order 

should be entered afer the discovery cut-off curently scheduled for Februar 13,2009. 

Respondent will use its best efforts to complete all depositions of EnerSys and EnerSys 

employees withi foureen (14) days ofthe receipt by Respondent's counsel of 
 the complete 

document production by EnerSys, and EnerSys will use its best efforts to make its witnesses 

available to be deposed durg that same time period. 

CONCLUSION 

For all the foregoing reasons, Respondent and EnerSys respectfly submit that 

the Cour should grant Respondent leave to conduct depositions ofEnerSys and the EnerSys 

6 

SLl 895799v2/00844.00930
 
Employees afer the Februar 13,2009 discovery deadline and enter an Order in the form 

submitted herewith.
