`

`
`v.
`
`PREVEZON HOLDINGS LTD. et al.,
`

`
`ECF CASE
`
`ORDER
`
`--------------------------------------------X
`
`For the reasons discussed at the March 9, 2015 hearing, the court grants
`
`the motion to quash the Aspen Subpoenas purportedly served on William F.
`
`Browder ("Browder") and other non-parties. (Dkt. No. 111).
`
`For the reasons also discussed at the March 9, 20 15 hearing, the court
`
`holds that Browder was properly served with the New York Subpoena. The
`
`court further finds that Browder "regularly transacts business in person" in
`
`New York as CEO of Hermitage Capital, and. as an author and activist.
`
`See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c). The court thus holds that Browder is subject to
`
`deposition in New York under Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
`
`The New York Subpoena is now returnable April 15, 2015.
`
`The court reiterates the need to minimize the time and expense involved
`
`in litigating any remaining issues pertaining to the New York Subpoena. To
`
`that end, the parties and Browder should confer to narrow such issues and to
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-06326-TPG Document 252 Filed 03/10/15 Page 2 of 2
`
`reach agreements on scope and confidentiality. If issues remain in dispute, the
`
`parties and Browder shall submit letters to the court outlining their positions
`
`no later than March 13, 2015, in advance of the next scheduled status
`
`conference. Such letters must not exceed three pages.
`
`This order resolves the entries listed as items 111 and 226 on the docket.
`
`SO ORDERED.
