[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Ellyn Garofalo has been subbed into the game and is moving to quash a new subpoena filed on Freedman's law firm, Liner Freedman Taitelman Cooley, having filed a new motion to Quash Subpoena in C.D. Cal. (so different case number than Liman's docket).  They've filed a joint stip. laying out each side's version of the facts.  Lively is asking the court to transfer the issue back to Liman (noting Liner Freedman has a NY office).  Liner Freedman says the asks are way too intrusive, asking for the law firms contacts and communications with media outlets, digital providers, and even the law firm's financial and telephone records.

From the affidavit, it looks like this subpoena was served back on May 20.[/quote]

Here is the docket for this CD Cal proceeding:  https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70536155/liner-freedman-taitelman-coolet-llp-v-lively/[/quote]

Thanks! I had asked earlier if Lively would now subpoena Freedmans texts with DM. So I guess they are.[/quote]

Seriously, that was prescient!  I don't know whether they will succeed in getting this discovery.  But what I appreciate about Lively's lawyers is that they do not sit on their hands when important questions are raised with them, but they figure out how to raise the issues with the respective court.  Here, Lively's attys show the text from Nathan to Abel saying they will start a Signal thread between themselves and Wallace, "Just in case you need him to connect you to Bryan because they're very close" and list this as a reason why they are seeking Freedman's communications.

I think this subpoena was filed about a week after Freedman's docs were struck on the docket in Liner's case and Freedman filed his affidavit re extortion, so if this is reactionary to that, it's perhaps not so great.  It's actually possible that Lively's subpoena came first, since Bender says they tried to serve Liner Freedman by email but they did not respond.[/quote]
