DUCES TECUM AN SUBPOENA AD TESTIFICANDUM

Ilinois Meter, Inc., an Ilinois corporation, by its attorneys, moves as follows" 

1. On March 6,2012, counsel for respondent McWane, Inc. ("McWane") served on 

non-part Ilinois Meter, Inc., ("Ilinois Meter") a Subpoena Duces Tecum and Subpoena Ad 

Testifcandum ("Subpoenas") containing requests for documents and data, with a response date 

of March 23,2012.

2. The attorney for McWane and Ilinois Meter have entered into discussions 

regarding the scope ofthe Subpoenas, objections thereto, and the time required for Ilinois Meter 

to produce its documents and data and to conduct depositions. 

3. Respondent McWane does not oppose as extension oftime though March 30, 

2012, in order to afford Ilinois Meter's counsel sufficient time to continue negotiating with 

McWane's counsel on reasonable limitations and modification ofMcWane's requests to reduce 

and limit the burden on Ilinois Meter of responding, thereby potentially avoiding the necessity 

of filing a motion to quash or limit the Subpoenas. 

Therefore, Ilinois Meter respectfully requests that this Unopposed Motion for Extension 

of Time be granted and that Ilinois Meter be given until March 30, 2012 to move to limit or 

quash the subpoenas issued by Mc Wane.
