PLAINT IFFS, MOT ION FOR PROTECT IVE ORDER

REGARDING DEFENDANTS, REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION PURSUANT

TO EXH IBIT A OF DEFENDANTS, FLAG AND SH IP SUBPOENA

DUCES TECUM

COMES NOW the Plaintiffs, LUIS GARCIA and ROCIO GARCIA , by and

through their undersigned attorneys and i le a Motion for Protective Order objecting to the

production of documents requested in multip le subpoenas duces tecum (the "Suboenas") issued

by Defendants Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization , Inc. and Church of Scientology

Flag Ship Service Organization, Inc. ("Defendants)" . The document requests issued by

Defendants, as set forth in Exhibit A to the Subpoenas, are identical, and impermissibly seek the

sweeping production of docum ents by (i) the separate law firms representing Plaintiffs, (ii)

individual counsel within those law firms; and (ii i) non-party Michael Rinder . Because the

document requests are patently overbroad and unduly burdensome, Plaintiffs object, on their own

1




beha lves and on behalf of each of the recipients of the Subpoenas, to the production sought by

the Subpoenas.1 (True and correct cop ies of the Subpoenas are attached as Composite Exhibit A.)

Defendants purport to serve the Subpoenas in order to obtain discovery rdaiting to its

motion to disqualify all three law firms representing Plaintiffs in this action. The motion to

disqualify is premised on the contention that the law firms of Babbitt Johnson Osborne &

LeClainche and Weil Quaranta McGovern received con fidential information from Gray

Robinson,s representation of Defendants over ten years ago. Yet Defendants, motion is now

being used in an attempt to discover every communication among counsel relating to this suit for

fraud against the Church of Scientology Defendants, including all communications with non-

party individuals named in these subpoenas . The document requests - catching in their net

irrelevant and privileged communications among attorneys and their clients and their lega l

consultants - are indefensibly overbroad.

As a preliminary matter, before permitting discovery, the Court shou ld determine

whether a conflict of interest even ex ists as a result of M r . Johnson,s past represen tation of FSO

under Rule 4-1.9. This is particularly compelling in this case as Defendants do not allege that

Mr. Johnson (i) ever represented Defendants in connection with this fraud suit by the Garcias,

(ii) knew of the Garcias when he represented FSO over ten years ago , or (iii) has any confidential

information about this case. Rather, Defendants allege that Mr. Johnson's past representation of

Defendants on general matters, somehow, makes this case substantially related ! prior

representation. Before requiring Plaintiffs to file a privilege log de tailing all privileged

1 FSO has served the Subpoenas on the separate law firms of Gray Robinson, P.A ., Babbitt,

Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, P .A ., and Weil Quaranta McGovern, P.A . FSO also served the

Subpoenas on the individual a:torneys within those separate firms , namely, Robert Johison,

Richard Zabak , Theodo re Babbitt, and Ron Weil . FSO also served the Subpoenas on non-partyM ichael Rinder .

2




communications, the Court shou ld make that preliminary determination. If, in fact, no conflict

exists, communications among the individuals subpoenaed are not on ly irrelevant and/or

protected rom discovery pursuant to the doctrines of work-product and attorney-client privilege,

bu t the ef forts requ ired by Plaintiffs and their counsel which Defendants seek to trigger by the

Subpoenas are unnecessary and , as such, burdensome and harassing .
