SECOND 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 10, 2023, to move to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the 

subpoena served on Take-Two by the United States of America Federal Trade Commission 

(“Complaint Counsel”) on February 13, 2023 (the “Subpoena”). Complaint Counsel agrees with 

the relief requested in this motion. 

Complaint Counsel served Take-Two with the Subpoena on February 13, 2023, with a 

production date of March 6, 2023. Take-Two filed a timely agreed motion for an extension of 

time to move to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the Subpoena to March 3, 2023, which 

Your Honor granted on February 23, 2023. 

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

production are productive and ongoing. Take-Two requests an extension of the deadline for 

Take-Two to move to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the Subpoena so that Take-Two and

Complaint Counsel 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, Complaint Counsel has until April 7, 

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

extension will delay the progress of these proceedings. 

Through correspondence with Complaint Counsel, Take-Two understands that Complaint 

Counsel 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 2, 2023 Respectfully submitted,

PROPOSED ORDER GRANTING SECOND AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA 

On March 2, 2023, non-party Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (“Take-Two”) 

filed a Second Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to Move to Limit or Quash or 

Otherwise Respond to a Subpoena (“Motion”) served by the United States of America 

Federal Trade Commission (“Complaint Counsel”) on February 13, 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 a second extension of time in order to continue its 

negotiations with Complaint Counsel 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
