2018-05-18 | 94 | District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The defendant has filed a further declaration addressing deficiencies identified by the Circuit in its prior declarations. With the benefit of reviewing this supplemental information, the government urges the Court to enter summary judgment in its favor. In support of this request it files no motion, and provides no explanation, separate from the declaration, explaining why it is now entitled to summary judgment. This request is DENIED without prejudice to the United States filing an actual motion for summary judgment supported by an explanatory memorandum conforming with the applicable rules and to which the Plaintiff will have an opportunity to respond in the ordinary course. If the defendant elects to pursue this course, it shall file its motion for summary judgment by May 31, 2018 . Plaintiff requests discovery and identifies issues that he argues establish the further declaration is inadequate. The government elected to file no response to this argument laid out in Plaintiff's status report. Given the issues raised by Plaintiff, the Court believes they are most efficiently presented in the form of an opposition to the defendant's motion for summary judgment and, as appropriate, within the opposition an explanation of the discovery sought included the basis. This opposition is due twenty-one days after filing of the motion for summary judgment. The defendant may file a reply not to exceed seven pages within fourteen days after the filing of the opposition. If the government does not file a motion for summary judgment, Plaintiff may file a motion for discovery by June 10, 2018 .(Montes, Mariliz) (Entered: 05/18/2018) |

2019-03-08 | 133 | Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying in part 132 Motion to Compel. At the court hearing on March 7, 2019, the court understood the discussion regarding the depositions to take place on March 13th in Washington to relate only to six specific Rule 30(b)(6) depositions. To that extent, the court understands that counsel for the government agreed to make all six designees available for deposition. As near as the court can glean from the plaintiff's motion, the plaintiff now seeks to proceed differently. It appears that the plaintiff now seeks to conduct four of the six Rule 30(b)(6) depositions, and to depose DoD employee Mark Herrington, a non Rule 30(b)(6) designee. Assuming that is correct, there is no basis to compel the four Rule 30(b)(6) designees to appear where there is no basis to fear they will not appear as discussed and as promised by counsel for the government. Accordingly, that portion of the motion is denied. With respect to Mr. Herrington, the court does not believe it has sufficient information to issue an informed ruling. Counsel for the government is requested to provide additional information to the court concerning the government's position as to (1) whether it objects to making Mr. Herrington available for deposition at all, and (2) assuming it does not object, whether he could be made available on March 13th, and (3) assuming he could be made available for deposition but just not on the 13th, when he could be made available. The court asks that the government respond by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, March 11, 2019. (Russo, Noreen) (Entered: 03/08/2019) |

2019-04-04 | 140 | Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting 135 and 136 Motion for subpoenas; denying 139 Motion to Quash. Plaintiff has requested the issuance of four non-party subpoenas pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(a) and (e). Rule 45(a)(1)(3) provides that the clerk must issue a requested subpoena, signed but otherwise in blank, to the requesting party, who then must complete and serve it. The Defendant has filed a Motion to Quash the subpoenas pursuant to Rule 45(d)(3) but the motion is premature where the subpoenas have been issued but have not yet been served. The motion to quash the subpoenas is therefore DENIED as premature. The court accordingly does not reach the merits of the defendants argument, or the question of whether the government has standing to move to quash subpoenas served on non-party, non-government employees. The court will deal with these and related issues when and as they become appropriate, that is, when and if the plaintiff has served the subpoenas and challenges to their compliance have been raised.

The court declines to authorize issuance of the requested subpoena seeking information from the FBI without additional information supporting the plaintiff's assertion that DOJ policy recommends "that discovery' in the instant action is the proper vehicle to obtain these records in a timely fashion." The plaintiff cites to Mitsubishi Electric but that case would appear to be distinguishable on a number of grounds, including that the plaintiff was already involved in a lawsuit against the governmental entity from whom it sought information and therefore was entitled to avail itself of the discovery process. In that regard, it bears reminding that the present matter relates to an action involving the Department of Defense, a wholly different governmental department.

2020-07-23 | 217 | Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting 205 Motion to Quash. Almost two years ago, on November 21, 2018, the court authorized the plaintiff to engage in limited discovery principally to determine whether the Department of Defense (DoD) had conducted a reasonably thorough search for information responsive to the plaintiffs FOIA request. (D. 121). As the parties are well aware, though, the scope of the discovery the plaintiff has requested and sometimes obtained has been much broader at times, and has included several subpoenas to non-DoD entities for depositions and non-DoD documents, seemingly with the at least co-incidental goal of furthering the plaintiff's underlying factual investigation. Generally speaking, the government has not always endorsed these requests but it has on several occasions facilitated their execution, in large part based on the stated desire to facilitate the collection of information to bring the long-running litigation to an amicable close. As such, the parties have since 2018 engaged in fairly extensive discovery and conducted depositions in several different states and locations. In April 2019, however, the government, essentially losing patience, moved to quash four subpoenas the plaintiff sought to serve on non-DoD entities. This court denied the government's motion but subsequently instructed the plaintiff in May 2019 to seek court permission before issuing any additional subpoenas. (D. 146). The plaintiff has largely complied with that requirement but most recently, on May 27, 2020, served five new subpoenas on the FBI seeking depositions and records. The plaintiff issued the subpoenas without seeking court permission, that is, in contravention of the court's prior order, prompting the present motion to quash. Against that backdrop, it is appropriate to quash the subpoenas for at least three reasons. First, the plaintiff did not seek leave of court before issuing the subpoenas and the court therefore, may quash the subpoenas as a function of its authority to enforce its orders, notwithstanding that this court is not the court of compliance for these subpoenas. See, e.g., Tower Ventures, Inc. v. City of Westfield , 53 Fed. R. Serv. 3d 43, 45 (1st Cir. 2002) (civil rules afford district courts substantial authority to enforce case-management orders). Second, the plaintiff has not persuaded the court that any of the information sought is likely to bear on the narrow issue in this case, namely the adequacy of the DoD's response to the plaintiff's FOIA request. The plaintiff suggests that FBI deponents may be able to educate the DoD on where additional documents might be found but this statement amounts to nothing more than hopeful conjecture, and certainly falls short of being sufficient to compel the depositions of a non-party. Finally, and more practically, the government has recently moved anew for summary judgment. (D. 208). Because the resolution of that motion, which the plaintiff has yet to respond to, will inform on whether the discovery sought (or any further discovery) is warranted, no further discovery should take place until the motion for summary judgment has been resolved.

2021-12-01 | 301 | District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered: re 277 MOTION EMERGENCY - Lift Protective and Privacy Orders Stalcup filed an emergency motion to prevent the destruction of certain documents and to permit the public disclosure of other information. Doc. Nos. 277, 278, 287. The Court presumes familiarity with the history of this litigation. In addition, the Court notes the following: First, this case concerns, only, claims by Stalcup that Defendant DOD failed to comply with the Freedom of Information Act in response to certain requests for information he made of them. This case is not a claim for damages or other relief arising from an allegation that a particular defendant bears responsibility for what happened to TWA Flight 800. As in every case, the nature of the case determines the scope of discovery and the range of issues before the Court. Second, the Court (Cabell, MJ) denied a request for a protective order by a non-party (Sheridan) as moot because "Plaintiff agreed to honor the proposed protective order provisions." Doc. No. 179. In these circumstances, if Stalcup now wishes relief from the terms of the protective order to which he effectively agreed and the Court impliedly imposed, he must file a specific motion identifying the specific information he seeks to disclose, the nature of the disclosure, and the reasons warranting relief from the limitations. This he has not done. Third, to the extent he complains that the NTSB might destroy certain documents or other material, he must identify the importance of this information as it relates to the only FOIA claim he has remaining in this case. This he has not done. Accordingly, the Emergency Motion (Doc. No. 277) is DENIED. (Dore, Samantha) (Entered: 12/01/2021) |
