No Easy Answers

On April 21, 2006, Libby's Counsel filed a Motion requesting a rescheduling of any Opposition to several Motions to quash Subpoena, filed by the Press (NBC, Time, Inc. etc.).

The original schedule was:

• April 25, 2006: File Opposition
• May 1, 2006: Reply to Opposition (by press)
• May 5, 2006: Hearing on the Motions

The requested schedule, in light of Judge Walton's ruling of April 19 granting Time, Inc.'s request to move the Hearing out to May 16, is as follows:

• May 2, 2006: File Opposition
• May 10, 2006: Reply to Opposition (by press)
• May 16, 2006: Hearing on the Motions

Case numbers affected are 06-123 through 06-128, and 06-169. An asterisk below indicates that the party filed a Motion to Quash or Modify subpoena. All such motions were filed on April 18, 2006.

   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00123-RBW: NBC NEWS & AFFILIATES *
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00124-RBW: MATTHEW COOPER *
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00125-RBW: JUDITH A. MILLER *
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00126-RBW: ANDREA MITCHELL *
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00127-RBW: TIM RUSSERT
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00128-RBW: TIME, INCORPORATED *
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00129-RBW: NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY   
   CASE #: 1:06-mc-00169-RBW: NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY *

Libby's counsel notes that there were five separate Motions to Quash. This is at odds with the six asterisks above (I personally viewed the docket entries for all eight cases to arrive at the cases that docketed the filing of a Motion to Quash, so six is the correct number of asterisks as of April 19), so either Libby's Counsel have miscounted the number of separate Motions, or two of the docket entries represent the same Motion. I suspect that NBC News and Andrea Mitchell are covered by the same Motion to Quash.
