Can you expand that a bit? It suggests that Richter would be using (hypothetically) the "Just Because I Said So" argument. I don't think that'll fly with any other legal team involved, nor the Judge.

The actual suit is in Chicago. The RB subpoena is in Boston, whilst the SI subpoena is in Seattle. None of the parties (named or otherwise) is in Nome. Plaintiff has a residence in Manhattan Beach, but I've heard he's sometimes in London. Defendent is on Mars. <g> "[edit] btw, where is this suit? Isn't there a 150 mile limitation on witnesses in fed court, and if state, then are infospace and pugs in the same state??"

No it is not an order of the court. An "order of the court" only comes from a Judge. He is the court.

I think he could try that, but SI's dug in its heels. I'm just noodlin' here, but, do you think that SI's (infospace's) objection to the subpoena might be met by the argument that a subpoena dt is a standing order by the court, but only issued by the clerk??? So my guess is that one way or another, if he wants to pursue this matter, he'll have to associate with local counsel in Washington and go to court. So if Richter chooses that route, it means trouble and expense for Dobry, with an uncertain outcome. And it means more time for us.
