What the materials show
The provided materials are a letter from the plaintiff’s lawyer to Judge Louis L. Stanton, along with a subpoena and service-related documents. The letter is dated August 24, 2023. The case metadata identifies September 7, 2023, as the filing date.
The letter states that on December 19, 2022, the court entered a judgment for Creative Glassware Industrial Co., Ltd. against Lifestyle International LLC in the amount of $198,189.20. It says the plaintiff served Lifestyle International LLC with a document subpoena on May 15, 2023, and that responses were due May 20, 2023.
Subpoena and requested relief
The subpoena seeks Lifestyle International LLC’s bank-account information, including monthly statements and annual tax information, as well as information about property or assets belonging to or in its possession. The attached materials identify a service location in Edison, New Jersey, and state that the summons was served on Arlene Sanchez, who was designated to accept service for Lifestyle International LLC. The provided proof-of-service material for the subpoena itself does not appear completed.
The plaintiff’s letter says Lifestyle International LLC failed to respond in any way. Relying on Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 69 and 45, the plaintiff asks the court to order Lifestyle International LLC to respond within two weeks. It also asks the court to warn that failure to respond could result in contempt of court and a daily penalty.
Disposition
The provided text does not contain a judicial ruling. It does not state that Judge Stanton granted, denied, or otherwise decided the plaintiff’s request. It also does not show that the court imposed a penalty or held Lifestyle International LLC in contempt. Accordingly, the materials show a request for enforcement of a subpoena, not the court’s disposition of that request.
