`Rule 45. Subpoena.
`(c) Protection of persons subject to subpoenas.
`(1) A party or an attorney responsible for the issuance and service of a
`subpoena shall take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense
`on a person subject to that subpoena. The court on behalf of which the subpoena
`was issued shall enforce this duty and may impose upon the party or attorney in
`breach of this duty an appropriate sanction, which may include, but is not limited
`to, lost earnings and a reasonable attorney’s fee.
`(2)(A) A person commanded to produce and permit inspection and copying
`of designated books, papers, documents or tangible things or inspection of
`premises need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless
`commanded to appear for deposition, hearing or trial. (B) Subject to paragraph
`(d)(2) of this rule, a person commanded to produce and permit inspection and
`copying may, within 14 days after service of the subpoena or before the time
`specified for compliance if such time is less than 14 days after service, serve
`upon the party or attorney designated in the subpoena written objection to
`inspection or copying of any or all of the designated materials or of the premises.
`If objection is made, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled to
`inspect and copy the materials or inspect the premises except pursuant to an
`order of the court by which the subpoena was issued. I f objection has been made,
`the party serving the subpoena may, upon notice to the person commanded to
`produce, move at any time for an order to compel production. Such an order to
`compel production shall protect any person who is not a party or an officer of a
`party from significant expense resulting from the inspect ion and copying
`commanded.
`(3)(A) On a timely motion, the court by which a subpoena was issued
`shall quash or modify the subpoena if it
`(i) Fails to allow reasonable time for compliance;
`(ii) Requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter and no
`exception or waiver applies; or
`(iii) Subjects a person to undue burden.
`(B) If a subpoena
`(i) Requires disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential research,
`development, or commercial information, or
`(ii) Requires disclosure of a retained expert’s opinion or information not
`describing specific events or occurrences in dispute and resulting from the
`expert’s study made not at the request of any party, the Court may, to protect a
`person subject to or affected by the subpoena, quash or modify the subpoena or, if
`the party in whose behalf the subpoena is issued shows a substantial need for the
`testimony or material that cannot be otherwise be obtained without undue
`hardship and assures that the person to whom the subpoena is addressed will be

`

`

`
`reasonably compensated, the Court may order appearance or production only
`upon specified conditions.
`(d) Duty in responding to subpoena.
`(1) If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing documents or
`electronically stored information, the person responding shall produce it in a form
`or forms in which ordinarily maintained, or in which it is reasonably usable.
`Absent a showing of good cause, the person responding need not produce the
`same documents or electronically stored information in more than one form. The
`person responding need not proceed discovery of documents or electronically
`stored information from sources that the person identifies as not reasonably
`accessible because of undue burden or cost. If the showing is made, the Court
`nevertheless may order discovery from such other sources if the requesting party
`shows good cause. The Court may specify the conditions for the discovery.
`(2) When information subject to a subpoena is withheld on a claim that is
`privileged or subject to protection in trial preparation materials, the claim shall be
`made expressly and shall be supported by a description of the nature of the
`documents, communications, or things not produced that is sufficient to enable the
`demanding party to contest the claim.

`database load file that contains All available metadata fields. An .opt image cross-
`
`reference file will also be provided for All .tiff images. Your production of
`
`electronically stored Documents must
`
`include, at a minimum, sufficient
`
`metadata
`
`to convey where items begin and end (including attachments), the
`
`original file name and Location, and the original timestamps and attributes, and
`
`must include the metadata fields set forth in the attached Table 1. Metadata
`
`containing time shall be in UTC and include the custodian’s time offset. Any
`
`Document production shall also include metadata setting forth the time offset for e-
`
`discovery processing. In the event it is agreed that search terms may be used to collect
`
`any portion of the Documents, You must, before collecting from any Location
`
`containing Documents with renderable text that may not be text-searchable (e.g.,
`
`non-OCR’ed PDF files), run an OCR protocol on that Location.
`
`14. When converting electronically stored Documents from their native
`
`format into a production format: (i) All tracked changes shall be retained in the
`
`manner in which they existed when the file was collected; (ii) OLE Embedded files
`
`shall not be extracted as separate Documents; (iii) author comments shall be retained
`
`in the manner in which they existed when the file was collected; (iv) hidden columns
`
`and rows shall be retained in the manner in which they existed when the file was
`
`collected; (v) presenter notes shall be retained in the manner in which they existed
`
`when the file was collected; and (vi) auto-populated fields shall be replaced with
`
`
`
`16
`
`

`

`
`
`descriptive text for the item.
`
`15. To the extent Documents in a foreign language are produced, the
`
`processing of such Documents shall be Unicode-compliant.
`
`16.
`
` All Documents should be produced as they are maintained in the
`
`ordinary course of business, including in the sequence in which they are ordinarily
`
`maintained, or shall be organized and labeled to correspond to the specific Request(s)
`
`to which they are responsive. All Documents shall be produced in their entirety,
`
`including with any attachments or enclosures. All electronically stored Documents
`
`shall be produced pursuant to Instructions 11-13 above, and You should otherwise
`
`ensure that all personal data associated with those Documents—including metadata,
`
`sequence, original file Location, and attached or embedded objects—are preserved
`
`and produced. All hard copy Documents shall be produced in the original file
`
`folders, boxes, or other containers or binders in which such items are found,
`
`including the title, labels, or other description of each such folder, box, or other
`
`container, or attach a copy of the Documents to copies of the file folders from which
`
`they came. The integrity and internal sequence of the requested Documents within
`
`each folder shall not be disturbed or commingled with the contents of another folder.
`
`17.
`
`If a Document is responsive to more than one Request, You are not
`
`required to duplicate production.
`
`18. Plaintiffs reserve the right to view the original of any copy of any
`
`
`
`17
`
`

`

`
`
`Documents produced in response to these Requests.
`
`19. You shall produce all Documents that cannot be legibly copied in their
`
`original form.
`
`20.
`
`If any objection is made to any of these Requests, the response shall
`
`state with specificity the grounds for the objection, whether any Document is being
`
`withheld from inspection and production on the basis of such objection, or whether
`
`inspection or production of the responsive items will occur notwithstanding such
`
`objection. If You object to any Request on grounds of overbreadth or similar bases,
`
`You are instructed to respond to the Request as narrowed. For the avoidance of
`
`doubt, You must make clear the extent to which You have narrowed Your response
`
`to any Request and inform Plaintiff as to whether any requested Documents are being
`
`withheld because of that narrowing. Plaintiff does not consent to any such narrowing
`
`and will meet and confer so You can articulate Your position if necessary.
`
`21.
`
`If You claim any form of privilege, immunity, or any other objection,
`
`whether based on statute, common law, or otherwise, as a ground for not producing
`
`any requested Documents, furnish a log at the time that the Documents are produced
`
`identifying each Document for which the privilege, immunity, or other objection is
`
`claimed, together with the following information: ( i ) a description of the type of
`
`Document (e.g., email, letter, agreement, memorandum, etc.); (ii) date; sender;
`
`recipient(s); (iii) Person(s) to whom the Document (or copies thereof) was provided
`
`
`
`18
`
`

`

`
`
`(including their job title and professional affiliation); (iv) author(s), including each
`
`Person who prepared or participated in the preparation of the Document (including
`
`their job title and professional affiliation); (v) file name or email subject line for each
`
`such Document; (vi) whether the email Document is a “parent” or attachment;
`
`(vii) subject matter; (viii) basis upon which a privilege, immunity, or other objection
`
`is claimed (including, as applicable, the identity of the lawyer(s) or law firm(s)
`
`purportedly providing or being asked to provide legal advice); (ix) who requested
`
`the legal advice and who is providing such advice; and (x) the Request(s) to which
`
`such Document is responsive. You should identify any attorney on each Document
`
`by providing an asterisk (*) next to his or her name. You should also provide a key
`
`players list identifying each individual’s job title and professional affiliation.
`
`22.
`
`If You claim privilege, immunity, or any other objection regarding only
`
`part of a Document, produce the part to which there is no claim of privilege,
`
`immunity, or objection and furnish a log identifying each item that is partially
`
`withheld together with the information listed in Instruction 21.
`
`23.
`
`If You cannot satisfy any Request, either in whole or in part, You shall
`
`produce Documents to the extent possible, specifying the reason for Your inability
`
`to produce further Documents.
`
`24.
`
`If there are no Documents responsive to any particular Request or
`
`subpart thereof, You shall state so in writing.
`
`
`
`19
`
`

`

`
`
`25.
`
`If any Document requested herein was lost, discarded, destroyed,
`
`deleted, or otherwise is no longer in Your possession, custody, or control, state and
`
`specify in detail for each such Document: (i) a description of the type of Document
`
`(e.g., email, letter, agreement, memorandum, etc.); (ii) date; sender; recipient; (iii)
`
`Person to whom the Document (or copies there
