SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

Non-party Sigma Corporation (“Sigma”) files this motion to extend the time permitted for 

Sigma to move to limit or quash (1) the Subpoena Duces Tecum that McWane, Inc. (“McWane”) 

served on Sigma on February 16, 2012, and (2) the Subpoenas Ad Testificandum that McWane 

served on Sigma on February 17, 2012 (collectively, the “Subpoenas”). Specifically, Sigma 

requests that it have until April 6, 2012 to move to limit or quash the Subpoenas. Sigma and 

McWane are in the process of conferring about the Subpoenas, and McWane does not oppose the 

extension of time for Sigma to file a Motion to Limit or Quash the Subpoenas through April 6, 

2012, while the parties negotiate in good faith to limit the Subpoenas issued to Sigma and its 

employees. 

On February 29, 2012, Sigma filed an Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time 

requesting an extension until March 30, 2012. On March 1, 2012, Judge Chappell granted Sigma’s 

motion. In both the February 29, 2012 and instant Unopposed Motions for Extension of Time, 
 

Sigma expressly reserves the right to argue that service of certain of these subpoenas may be 

defective as Sigma does not control some of the individuals identified in McWane’s Subpoenas. 

Accordingly, Sigma respectfully requests that this Second Unopposed Motion for 

Extension of Time be granted and that Sigma be given until April 6, 2012 to respond to the 

McWane Subpoenas Duces Tecum and Ad Testificandum.
