Case 1:10-cv-10216-NMG Document 82 Filed 10/29/11 Page 1 of 3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS BOSTON DIVISION JAGEX LIMITED, PLAINTIFF, v. IMPULSE SOFTWARE, ERIC SNELLMAN, and MARK SNELLMAN DEFENDANTS. __________________________________ ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. 1:10-cv-10216 DEFENDANTS’ EMERGENCY MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AN EMERGENCY MOTION FOR SANCTIONS IN EXCESS OF TWENTY PAGES Defendants, IMPULSE SOFTWARE, ERIC SNELLMAN and MARK SNELLMAN (hereinafter “Defendants”), by and through their undersigned attorneys hereby submit their Emergency Motion for Leave to File an EMERGENCY Motion in Excess of Twenty (20) Pages. The EMERGENCY motion which is in excess of 20 pages is for Sanctions Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b), (c) and 45(c) for Plaintiff and its attorneys’ blatant disregard of this Court’s Protective Order [Dkt. No. 60] through the filing of a sham proceeding in the Central District of California for the sole purpose of issuing a third subpoena to PayPal under false pretenses to obtain Defendants’ confidential documents that were previously produced in the instant case with the designation of CONFIDENTIAL-OUTSIDE ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY so that Plaintiff’s attorneys could provide such confidential information to their client. Defendants are bringing this matter to the attention of this Court as an EMERGENCY Motion because Jagex is using the improperly obtained confidential documents to threaten Defendants’ customers, which is resulting in immediate and irreparable harm to Defendants’ business. Plaintiff is unyielding and refuses to cease its inappropriate actions. If Plaintiff’s conduct is allowed to continue much longer, Defendants’ business will be completely destroyed.  Case 1:10-cv-10216-NMG Document 82 Filed 10/29/11 Page 2 of 3 Defendants further submit that this matter does not violate this Court’s Directive [Dkt. No. 76] of October 14, 2011 since not only were Defendants unaware of the actions taken by Plaintiffs until October 25, 2011 (even though Plaintiffs’ counsel had a duty to inform Defendants’ counsel months earlier), but this is not a discovery dispute, but rather a request for sanctions for violating this Court’s Protective Order and to right the ongoing wrong improperly inflicted upon Defendants. Defendants request to be permitted to file their EMERGENCY Motion for Sanctions with twenty-four (24) pages. A copy of the EMERGENCY MOTION for Sanctions, without the exhibits, is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “A.” The Factual Background of Defendants’ EMERGENCY Motion for Sanctions ends on page 13. Defendants’ Memorandum of Law begins on page 13 and concludes page 23 (11 pages), and page 24 is required for page of the signature block and the Certificate of Service. CERTIFICATE UNDER LOCAL RULE 7.1(A)(2) I certify that counsel for Defendants conferred with counsel for Plaintiff and Plaintiff objects to the filing of the EMERGENCY MOTION for Sanctions. Counsel for Plaintiff requested that counsel for Defendants attach Plaintiff’s October 28, 2011 letter in this section. A true and correct copy of Plaintiff’s October 28, 2011 letter is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “B”. A true and correct copy of Defendants’ response, dated October 28, 2011 is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “C”. Dated this 29th day of October, 2011.
