If you start reading this thread from the one posted. TVSI AREE you will see a complete pump and dump facilitated a great deal by Pugs and Riley

siliconinvestor.com

or start from the beginning. It is incredibly enlightening...of course until I visit NEXT LEVEL....the billion dollar merger company, amidst a senior citizens condo development.

I then get blamed for "blowing" the merger.

Wow. Kinda like a penny stock Lech Walesa. Or the Jimmy Hoffa of penny stock scams, depending on one's perspective. Solidarnosc!

DANG!

Now I know where I have run into Pugs before here on SI....

Is that Riley person still a cop or something?

That thread was a hoot.

A pair of interesting documents. Another of the attorneys involved in the Washington matter has told me that neither is privileged or confidential. He further told SI that we'd want to post them, and SI said "Fine".

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON
AT SEATTLE

RICHARD MARCHESE,
Plaintiff

v.

GARY DOBRY,
Defendant.

NO. 00 C 5606 (Northern District of Illinois

OBJECTION TO SUBPOENA IN A CIVIL CASE

InfoSpace, Inc. hereby objects to the subpoena served on it in the above matter on the ground that it is premature and the defendant lacks standing to serve it. Pursuant to Doe v. 2TheMart.com, Inc., 140 F. Supp. 2d 1088 (W. D. Wash. 2001), a party may not issue a subpoena seeking to identify anonymous Internet users until such time as the party has satisfied a four-factor test and obtained a court order permitting such a subpoena. Because defendant has not satisfied the four-factor test and obtained a court order, defendant lacks standing to serve the subject subpoena, which is premature. InfoSpace, Inc. will comply with any court order issued on this subject and will not oppose any effort by defendant to obtain such a court order.

Re: Marchese v. Dobry

Dear Mr. Richter:

This firm represents Infospace, Inc. and has been asked to respond to your subpoena to silicon Investor in the above matter. Enclosed please find InfoSpace Inc.’s objection to your subpoena.

It is the law of this district that no subpoena seeking to identify anonymous Internet users can be served unless the subpoenaing party has obtained a court order authorizing such a subpoena. This was the recent holding in Doe v. 2TheMart.com, Inc., 140 F. Supp.2nd 1088 (W.D. Wash. 2001). In this case, you apparently have not obtained such a court order nor have you provided InfoSpace, Inc. with information that would satisfy 2TheMart.com’s four-part test for entitlement to such information. As a result, InfoSpace, Inc. is not in a position to assess your entitlement to the requested information and is unable to provide the requested information in the absence of a court order directing it to do so.

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Very truly yours,

[signed] Brent Snyder

Enclosure
