DOCKET NO. 9412 

SECOND 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 sevenday extension of time, until March 6, 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 original deadline for Valve to limit or quash the 

Subpoena was February 17, 2023. On February 17, 2023, Valve filed, and the Court granted, an 

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

Subpoena that extended the deadline for Valve to move to limit or quash the Subpoena to February 

27, 2023. 

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

Subpoena are productive and still ongoing. Valve requests an additional extension of the deadline 

for Valve to move to limit or quash 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 additional 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.

DOCKET NO. 9412 

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING SECOND AGREED MOTION FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH 

OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA 

On February 27, 2023, non-party Valve Corporation (“Valve”) 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 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 additional 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.
