AGREED MOTION OF NON-PARTY TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC. 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH 

OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA

Non-party Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (“Take-Two”) hereby moves for an 

extension of time to March 20, 2023, to move to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the 

subpoena served on Take-Two by Respondent Activision Blizzard, Inc. (“Activision”) on 

February 24, 2023 (the “Subpoena”). Activision agrees with the relief requested in this motion. 

Activision served Take-Two with the Subpoena on February 24, 2023, with a production 

date of March 6, 2023. Pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 3.34(c), Take-Two must move to limit or quash 

the Subpoena within ten days of the date of service or the time of compliance. Therefore, the 

current deadline for Take-Two to move to limit or quash the Subpoena is March 6, 2023.

Negotiations between Take-Two and Activision as to the scope of Take-Two’s 

production and a discovery schedule are ongoing. Take-Two requests an extension of the 

deadline for Take-Two to move to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the Subpoena pursuant

to 16 C.F.R. § 3.34(c) so Take-Two and Activision can continue to negotiate and thereby

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

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

2023, to complete fact discovery, and, therefore, Take-Two does not believe the requested 

extension to March 20 will delay the progress of these proceedings.

Through correspondence with Activision, Take-Two understands that Activision agrees 

with the relief requested in this motion.

WHEREFORE, for good cause shown, Take-Two respectfully requests that Your Honor 

grant the requested relief pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b).

Dated: March 3, 2023 Respectfully submitted,

PROPOSED ORDER GRANTING AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA 

On February 24, 2023, non-party Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (“Take-Two”) 

filed an Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to Move to Limit or Quash or Otherwise 

Respond to a Subpoena (“Motion”) served by Respondent Activision Blizzard, Inc. 

(“Activision”) on February 24, 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. Take-Two states that it seeks an extension of time in order to continue its 

negotiations with Activision 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, Take-Two has demonstrated 

good cause for the requested extension. Accordingly, the Motion is GRANTED and it is

hereby ORDERED Take-Two’s deadline for filing any motion to limit or quash or otherwise 

respond to the subpoena pursuant to Rule 3.34(c) is extended to March 20, 2023.
