    Re: BSI Mortgage IV, LLC v. Kaushik et al. Docket No. 14-cv-01640 (LDW)(ARL)

    Dear Judge Lindsay: This firm is counsel to defendant Vekrum Kaushik in the above-entitled action. This response is in opposition to the letter-motion filed by counsel for movant Elon Lebouvich a/k/a Allen Lebo (Lebo or movant) seeking to quash the properly noticed subpoena duces tecum (subpoena) upon Lebo. Dckt. No. 38. Counsel for Lebo has made demands that this Court quash the subpoena served by defendant on Sprint Corporate Security for the cellular telephone number of (516) 216-3398, a number used or controlled by Lebo. Mr. Weinreb has either not properly conferred or merely desires to increase the workload of this Court. Had Mr. Weinreb spoken with Lebo, he would have been informed that this [Lebos] number was serviced by T-Mobile during the requested time period. Exhibit A, Letter from Sprint Corporate Security to Sheehan & Associates, P.C., March 2, 2015. Nevertheless, I understand the need to vigorously represent the interest of your client, even when those interests are non-existent, such as Lebos cellular phone records maintained by Sprint Corporate Security. Mr. Weinreb interestingly cites to ADL, LLC v. Tirakian, No. CV2006-5076(SJF)(MDG, 2007 WL 1834517, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. June 26, 2007) for the proposition that a party has standing to challenge a non-party subpoena where the party has a sufficient privacy interest in the confidentiality of the records sought . . . I find that the Auditors have a sufficient privacy interest in the confidentiality of the documents discussed above to have standing to challenge the subpoenas.

    At bar, Lebo is not a party to this action. Nor, according to plaintiff, is Lebo a member of

    Case 2:14-cv-01640-LDW-ARL Document 46 Filed 03/11/15 Page 1 of 3 PageID #: 859

  • plaintiff. In defendants interrogatories to plaintiff (first set), served on plaintiff on October 8, 2014, Interrogatory No. 20 states: Set forth the relationship between BSI Mortgage IV LLC and Elon Lebouvich a/k/a Elon Lebovitch a/k/a Allen Lebo. Exhibit B, Defendants Interrogatories to Plaintiff (First Set). Plaintiff answered that Elon Lebovich is a broker trying to assist BSI. Exhibit C, Plaintiffs Response to Defendants First Set of Interrogatories, December 1, 2014.

    In ADL, LLC v. Tirakian, the Court decided that given the relevance of employment and

    personnel files to the underlying claims of plaintiff based on negligent misrepresentation and fraud, the Auditors (defendants). In the present situation, phone records for the time indicated are relevant to defendants claims that plaintiff is not disclosing those persons (members) who possess a beneficial interest in the outcome of this litigation.

    The Supreme Court stated that an interest in an LLC is the sort of instrument that requires

    case-by-case analysis; into the economic realities of the underlying transaction. Reves v. Ernst & Young, 494 U.S. 56, 62, 110 S.Ct. 945, 108 L.Ed.2d 47 (1990) (In discharging our duty, we are not bound by legal formalisms, but instead take account of the economics of the transaction under investigation.).

    Assuming arguendo that Sprint maintained records of Lebos cellular telephone records, the actual production requests were highly limited in scope. First, only one (1) telephone number associated with Lebo was listed in the subpoena. Second, only one (1) date of phone records for the number associated with Lebo was listed in the subpoena. Finally, the subpoena only requested call records for Lebos number between 1:00 PM and 7:30 PM, Eastern Standard Time (EST). Dckt. No. 38-1, Attachment II, Production Requests 1-5.

    As is likely evident from the arguments and facts placed before this Court in defendants opposition to the motion to quash a subpoena and subpoena duces tecum served upon Yonel Devico, this case comes down to who is/was in control of plaintiff. On June 9, 2014, your undersigned and defendant Kaushik held a meeting with Lebo and Mr. Weinreb in New York, NY. The goal of this meeting was to reach a settlement between plaintiff and defendant. This meeting took place in the afternoon, from approximately 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The records sought in this subpoena from Mr. Lebo, the broker directly assisting plaintiff, would indicate just who in fact he called when transmitting settlement offers conveyed in good faith by defendant Kaushik. Did Mr. Lebo call the Managing Member in Florida? Did Mr. Lebo call Marbella, Spain, Monaco or the Kingdom of Morocco, places where Simy Devico, the second named member of plaintiff resides? These records, while they would not, in themselves, be dispositive, they would identify the person who was instructing, paying or otherwise maneuvering him from behind the scenes against defendant.

  • A partys right to obtain material pursuant to a Rule 45 subpoena to a third party is as broad as otherwise permitted under the discovery rules. See e.g. Charles Wright & Alan Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure 2452 (3d. ed. 2008). Relevance within the meaning of Rule 26(b)(1) is considerably broader than relevance for trial purposes. See Oppenheimer Fund v. Sanders, 437 U.S. 340, 351 (1978) (citation omitted). Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Rule 26(b)(1); see also Oppenheimer Fund, 437 U.S. at 351. Lebos counsel has no argument as to the subpoena request being overbroad, as the duration of the request was for six and one-half (6.5) hours. Considering a central element of this case is to determine the real parties in interest to this action, the limited and direct subpoena is neither burdensome or encumbers any privacy interest Lebo may have in keeping the Court from learning who in fact he was transmitting defendants offers to at that specific time on that one specific date. Finally, Mr. Weinreb cites to Corbett v. eHome Credit Corp. for the proposition that when assessing whether or not discovery is overbroad or unduly burdensome, the Court should look at the burden placed on non-parties. No. 10-CV-26 (JG)(RLM), 2010 WL 3023870, at *2-3 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 2, 2010). Continuing, as cited by Lebos counsel, Corbett states that a subpoena that pursues material with little apparent or likely relevance to the subject matter . . . is likely to be quashed as unreasonable even where the burden of compliance would not be onerous. Therefore, even if the within subpoena is not burdensome, Mr. Weinreb states it should be quashed because it pursues material with little apparent or likely relevance to the subject matter.

    For the factual considerations provided and the relevancy of the information requested to enable defendant to adequately litigate this action, it is respectfully requested that the within motion on behalf of Lebo seeking to quash the subpoena duces tecum of his non-existent Sprint phone records be denied.
