Eastern District of Texas Magistrate Judge Roy S. Payne has granted a motion from Starbucks to withdraw its prior motion for an order protecting its lead counsel from deposition by Analytical Technologies, LLC (AT), a Leigh M. Rothschild-linked plaintiff. That motion was mooted by AT’s withdrawal of the subpoena. The court also denied a motion to compel responses to certain Starbucks requests for admissions but ordered AT to supplement its responses to two Starbucks interrogatories, one asking AT to “[d]escribe with specificity all facts that [it] contend[s] render [its] corporate form legitimate and not a sham” and, “[e]xcluding outside counsel”, to “identify with specificity any and all persons with decision-making authority over This Litigation”.
