DOCKET NO. 9412

THIRD AGREED MOTION OF NON-PARTY GOOGLE LLC 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO MOVE TO LIMIT OR QUASH OR 

OTHERWISE RESPOND TO SUBPOENA

Non-party Google LLC (“Google”) moves pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 3.34(c) for a seven-day

extension of time, until March 3, 2023, to move to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the 

subpoena served on Google by Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) on January 31, 2023 (the 

“Subpoena”). Microsoft agrees to the relief requested in this motion.

Microsoft served Google with the Subpoena on the evening of January 31, 2023, with a 

response date of February 7, 2023. Google filed a timely agreed motion to extend its time to move 

to limit or quash or otherwise respond to the Subpoena to February 17, 2023, which Your Honor 

granted. Google filed a second timely agreed motion to extend its time to move to limit or quash 

or otherwise respond to Microsoft’s subpoena to February 24, 2023, which Your Honor also 

granted.

Negotiations between Google and Microsoft as to the scope of Google’s production are 

productive and ongoing. Google requests an extension of the deadline for Google to move to limit 

or quash or otherwise respond to the Subpoena so that Google and Microsoft 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, Microsoft has until April 7, 2023, to 

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

the progress of these proceedings.

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

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

Dated: February 24, 2023.

Respectfully submitted,

DOCKET NO. 9412

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING THIRD AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF 

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

On February 24, 2023, non-party Google LLC (“Google”) filed a Third Agreed Motion for 

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

served by Respondent Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) on January 31, 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. 

Google seeks an extension of time in order to continue its negotiations with Microsoft 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, Google has demonstrated good cause 

for the requested extension. Accordingly, the Motion is GRANTED and it is hereby ORDERED 

that Google’s deadline for filing any motion to limit or quash the subpoena pursuant to Rule 3.34(c) 

is extended to March 3, 2023.
