Sample Letter for Plaintiff's Motion for Protective Order, Motion to Quash, Objection to Notice of Deposition Ducks Cecum in South Dakota: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: Case No. [Case Number] Plaintiff: [Plaintiff's Name] Defendant(s): [Defendant's Name(s)] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing on behalf of the plaintiff in the above-mentioned case to inform you of our intention to file a Motion for Protective Order, Motion to Quash, and Objection to the Notice of Deposition Ducks Cecum served upon us by the defendant. 1. Motion for Protective Order: The plaintiff seeks a Protective Order to safeguard sensitive or confidential information from being disclosed, particularly during the discovery process. Our concern is that the defendant's requested depositions may include trade secrets, intellectual property, or personal information that warrants protection under South Dakota law. 2. Motion to Quash: The plaintiff respectfully requests the court to quash the notice of deposition duces tecum for several reasons. Firstly, we contend that the deposition notice was not properly served according to the South Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure. Secondly, the subpoena is unduly burdensome, oppressive, and overreaching, as it requests a vast array of documents that are not relevant to the current litigation. 3. Objection to the Notice of Deposition Ducks Cecum: In addition to the Motion to Quash, the plaintiff objects to the deposition notice on the grounds of relevancy and privacy concerns. The requested documents, as stated, are not essential for the proper resolution of this case and extend beyond the scope allowed by South Dakota law. We believe the defendant's intent is to obtain information unrelated to the claims being asserted, thereby causing unnecessary intrusion and disruption. In support of our motions and objections, we will be filing a brief memorandum of law, citing relevant statutory and case law authorities from South Dakota. We trust that this will further illustrate our position and bring clarity to the court. We kindly request that you reconsider the deposition notice, and in the event you fail to do so, we reserve the right to seek appropriate relief from the court, including cost and attorney fees incurred in connection with this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and inform us of your decision regarding the deposition notice within ten (10) business days from the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to resolving this dispute amicably and efficiently.
