IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS AUSTIN DIVISION FUNDSXPRESS FINANCIAL NETWORK, INC. Plaintiff, v. DIGITAL INSIGHT CORPORATION, ET AL., Defendants. MOTION TO QUASH NOTICE OF DEPOSITION BY WRITTEN QUESTIONS AND FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER TO THE HONORABLE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT: Digital Insight Corporation, Defendant herein, moves the Court to quash the Notices of Deposition Upon Written Questions served herein upon the following fifteen (15) deponents: Valley Federal Credit Union of Montana University Credit Union Sun Community Bankcorp Norway Savings Bank Marine Bank of the Florida Keys Oakland Commerce Bank Gateway Community Bank McKay Dee Credit Union Pitney Bowes Employees Federal Credit Union Southern Illinois University Credit Union Associated Credit Union Anderson Bank Company Superior Community Credit Union South Pointe Bank Arrowhead Community Bank The notices should be quashed because Plaintiff wholly failed to comply with Rule 31 (a)(2)(A), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, in that the proposed depositions would result in more than ten (10) depositions being taken under Rule 31 by the Plaintiff, thereby necessitating leave of Court, which has not been requested, nor granted. II. Further, Defendant is advised by counsel for Plaintiff that the written questions have already been served upon at least some of the deponents, notwithstanding that the time periods are such that Defendant is still entitled to object to the questions submitted and serve cross-questions under Rule 31. Under these circumstances, Defendant has been improperly deprived of its right to submit cross-questions to be propounded by the officer commissioned to take the responses and prepare the record of the depositions on written questions, and hence the Notice of Depositions Upon Written Questions should be quashed for that reason. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant prays that the Motion to Quash Depositions Upon Written Questions be granted.
