ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Gerard E. Lynch from Robert Sacks, Sidney Liebesman dated 1/25/05 re: counsel for parties request a conference with the court. Softbank's motion to quash plaintiffs' subpoenas is denied. Softbank lacks standing to object to subpoenas served on other parties and non parties which do not affect Softbank by seeking its trade secrets or the like under FRCP 45(c)(3)(B). While this standing rule might be broadened if, as Softbank alleges, the subpoenas were "nullities" because issued in flagrant disregard of the PSLRA stay, that is not the case. Numerous claims in this instant complaint have been sustained against motions to dismiss, and plaintiffs represent that the discovery sought relates to those claims. Under these circumstances, the court will only entertain objections that the subpoenas are overbroad for parties on whom the subpoenas have been served or who are otherwise affected by them.
