In Creative Glassware v. Lifestyle International, Judge Stanton received a request to compel subpoena responses; the materials show no ruling.

Who this affects

Creative Glassware Industrial Co., Ltd., which seeks information to enforce its judgment, and Lifestyle International LLC, which is the subpoena recipient and is alleged not to have responded.

What happened

In Creative Glassware Industrial Co., Ltd. v. Lifestyle International LLC, the plaintiff says the court entered a $198,189.20 judgment in its favor on December 19, 2022. The plaintiff then served Lifestyle International LLC with a subpoena seeking bank-account information, tax information, and information about its property and assets.

The plaintiff says Lifestyle International LLC did not respond by the May 20, 2023 deadline. It asks the court to order a response within two weeks and warn that continued noncompliance could lead to contempt and a daily penalty.

The materials identify Judge Louis Stanton, but they do not show that he granted or denied the request, entered a contempt order, or otherwise ruled on the motion. They consist of the plaintiff’s letter and attached subpoena and service documents.

Case
Creative Glassware Industrial Co., Ltd. v. Lifestyle International LLC · No. 1:22-cv-04074
Judge
Louis Stanton
Date
Sept. 7, 2023

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.
