How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “a person responding to a subpoena should at least assert any privileges within…14 days”
• discussing cases in which a bad faith delay in asserting a privilege resulted in its waiver
• “[A]ssuming the [respondents] had a reasonable basis for asserting the Fifth Amendment privilege at the time they first received the subpoenas, they should have raised the privilege at that time.”
• stating that a general reservation of rights does not automatically preserve the Fifth Amendment privilege because “Rule 45(c)(2)(B) . . . require[s] the recipient of a subpoena to raise all objections at once, rather than in staggered batches, so that discovery does not become a ‘game’”
• noting bankruptcy court's broad discretion with respect to matters of pre-trial discovery
• “some courts suggest that untimeliness, without more, can never justify a finding of waiver of the Fifth Amendment privilege”
