DOCKET NO. 9412

AGREED MOTION OF NON-PARTY VALVE CORPORATION

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH OR 

OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA

Non-party Valve Corporation (“Valve”) moves pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 3.34(c) for a tenday extension of time, until February 27, 2023, to move to limit or quash the subpoena served by 

the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) on February 7, 2023 (the “Subpoena”). The FTC agrees 

to the relief requested in this motion.

The FTC served Valve with the Subpoena on February 7, 2023, with a response date of 

February 28, 2023. Pursuant to Rule 3.34(c), the deadline for Valve to limit or quash the Subpoena 

is February 17, 2023. 

Negotiations between Valve and the FTC as to the scope, relevancy and/or necessity of the 

Subpoena are ongoing. Valve requests an extension of the deadline for Valve to move to limit or 

quash or otherwise respond to the Subpoena so that Valve and the FTC can continue negotiations 

and eliminate or narrow any issues that need to be presented to the Court for resolution. 

Pursuant to the January 4, 2023, Scheduling Order, the FTC has until April 7, 2023, to 

complete fact discovery, and therefore, Valve does not believe the requested extension will delay 

the progress of these proceedings.

Valve therefore respectfully requests that Your Honor grant the requested relief pursuant 

to 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b), for good cause shown.

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA

On February 17, 2023, non-party Valve Corporation (“Valve”) filed an Agreed Motion for 

Extension of Time to Move to Limit or Quash or Otherwise Respond to a Subpoena (“Motion”) 

served by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) on February 7, 2023. 

Under FTC Rule of Practice 3.34(c), any motion to limit or quash a subpoena must be filed 

within the earlier of ten days of service of the subpoena or the time for compliance therewith. 

Valve seeks an extension of time in order to continue negotiations with the FTC regarding the 

subpoena, thereby narrowing potential discovery disputes. 

FTC Rule 4.3(b) authorizes the Administrative Law Judge, except in circumstances not 

here presented, to extend any time limit prescribed by the rules “[f]or good cause shown.” 16 

C.F.R. § 4.3(b). Based on the representations in the Motion, Valve has demonstrated good cause 

for the requested extension.
