DEFENDANT’S OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF’S WITNESS SUBPOENA
AND REQUEST FOR DOCUMENT PRODUCTION
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
COMES NOW, Joseph Geeting, a Defendant in the above-styled and numbered cause,
and file this Objection to Plaintiff Craig Dyer’s Witness Subpoena and request for document
production, and in support thereof would respectfully show unto the Court as follows:
I
INTRODUCTION
1.01 On or about October 31, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Appointment of a
Receiver and/or Application for Injunctive Relief. In November and December 2011, the Court
heard motions with respect to the entry of judgment; however, the Court did not hear Plaintiffs’
Page |
Motion for Appointment of a Receiver and/or Application for Injunctive Relief indicating that
the motion was premature given that a judgment would be forthcoming.
1.02 On February 6, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Expedited Hearing on Motion
for Appointment of a Receiver and/or Application for Injunctive Relief. See Exhibit “A”
attached hereto.
1.03 On March 5, 2012, Plaintiff provided notice that Plaintiff's Motion for
Appointment of Receiver had been set for hearing on March 16, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. See Exhibit
“B” attached hereto. However, a telephone call to the Court Clerk and review of the Court’s
docket confirms that the hearing set for March 16, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. is on Plaintiff's Motion for
Expedited Hearing filed on February 6, 2012, not on Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of
Receiver as noticed by Plaintiff. See Exhibit “C” attached hereto.
1.04 On March 13, 2012, three days before the hearing, a process server delivered a
Witness Subpoena to the offices of Nowak & Stauch, LLP, which sought the attendance of
Defendant Joseph Geeting at the March 16, 2012 hearing, as well as the production of
documents. See Exhibit “D” attached hereto.
IL.
OBJECTIONS TO WITNESS SUBPOENA AND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
A Setting for March 16, 2012 is not an Evidentiary Hearing
2.01 Defendant Joseph Geeting objects to the Witness Subpoena requesting his
presence at the hearing set for March 16, 2012 given the fact that this is not an evidentiary
hearing and merely a setting on Plaintiff's Motion for Expedited Hearing filed on February 6,
2012. Defendant Joseph Geeting further objects to the production of documents and respectfully
requests that the Court enter an order protecting him from the referenced Witness Subpoena.
Page 2
B. Subpoena of Witnesses and Documents
2.02 A party who issues a subpoena should be “diligent” in procuring witness’s
testimony. See Hatteberg v. Hatterberg, 933 S.W.2d 522, 526 (Tex.App.—Houston [1* Dist.]
1994, no writ). Moreover, a party causing a subpoena to issue must take reasonable steps to
avoid imposing undue burden or expense on the person served. Tex. R. Civ. P. 176.7. In ruling
on objections or motions for protection, the court must provide a person served with a subpoena
adequate time for compliance, protection from disclosure of privileged information and
protection from undue burden or expense. Jd. On motion the court is authorized to quash or
modify the subpoena if it is unreasonable or oppressive or condition denial of the motion on
advancement of reasonable costs by the party in whose behalf the subpoena issued. Automatic
Drilling Machs., Inc. v. Miller, 515 S.W.2d 256, 259 (Tex. 1974).
2,03 Plaintiff's subpoena requests duplicative information already produced to
Plaintiff's counsel prior to mediation. Moreover, uch of this information is not readily
available to be produced. Some of the documents requested will take more than two (2) days to
locate and/or generate. As such, and subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections,
Defendant Joseph Geeting will, in good faith, attempt to bring some of the document production
requested in the Witness Subpoena to the March 16, 2012 setting on Plaintiffs Motion for
Expedited Hearing.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant Joseph Geeting respectfully
requests that the Court sustain his objections to Plaintiff Craig Dyer’s request for document
production, enter an order protecting Defendant from the referenced Witness Subpoena, prohibit
Plaintiff Craig Dyer from eliciting testimony from the subpoenaed Defendant or to be able to
Page 3
compel production of the documents requested in the subpoena, and for such other and further
relief, at law or equity, to which Defendant Joseph Geeting may be justly entitled.

MOTION FOR EXPEDITED HEARING ON MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF A

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
COMES NOW CRAIG DYER (“Dyer”) individually and on behalf of Dyer Custom
Installation, Inc. (“DCI”) and moves the Court to conduct an expedited hearing on his
Motion for Appointment of a Receiver and/or for Injunctive Relief and respectfully shows
the Court as follows:

EXHIBIT
A
|
As the Court is aware, the jury returned its verdict in this case in July 2010. Thereafter,
the Court ordered the parties to mediation, which has failed. In November and
December 2011, the Court heard the parties’ respective motions with respect to the entry
of judgment, however, the Court did not hear the Plaintiff's motion to appoint a receiver
indicating that the motion was premature given that a judgment would be forthcoming.
However, no judgment has been entered to date.
Late last week, the Plaintiff was informed that many of the assets of DCI have now
been sold, including numerous trucks, and numerous employees and independent
contractors working for the company have been fired or have quit. In other words, it
appears that the company is rapidly deteriorating and time is of the essence in order for
Plaintiff's rights to be protected. Counsel for the Defendants has received a letter
regarding the situation at DCI, but Mr. Nowak has failed to respond. Accordingly,
Plaintiff requests an expedited hearing on its motion for appointment of a receiver or, in
the alternative, for temporary injunctive relief.

Filed 12 March 15 A10:24 Gary Fitzsimmons District Clerk Dallas District CAUSE NO. 04-01100-M CRAIG DYER, IN THE DISTRICT COURT Plaintiff, vs. DYER CUSTOM INSTALLATION, INC. (DCI), JOSEPH GEETING, SUSAN LAMBERT, RICHARD GEETING§ and LAURI GEETING Defendants. 298™ JUDICIAL DISTRICT PRO PLUMBING & APPLIANCE INSTALLATION, INC. f/k/a DYER CUSTOM INSTALLATION, INC. Plaintiff, vs. CRAIG DYER, MELISA CONTRERAS, and THE ESTATE OF LARRY DYER Defendants. DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS DEFENDANT’S OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF’S WITNESS SUBPOENA AND REQUEST FOR DOCUMENT PRODUCTION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW, Joseph Geeting, a Defendant in the above-styled and numbered cause, and file this Objection to Plaintiff Craig Dyer’s Witness Subpoena and request for document production, and in support thereof would respectfully show unto the Court as follows: I INTRODUCTION 1.01 On or about October 31, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Appointment of a Receiver and/or Application for Injunctive Relief. In November and December 2011, the Court heard motions with respect to the entry of judgment; however, the Court did not hear Plaintiffs’ Page | Motion for Appointment of a Receiver and/or Application for Injunctive Relief indicating that the motion was premature given that a judgment would be forthcoming. 1.02 On February 6, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Expedited Hearing on Motion for Appointment of a Receiver and/or Application for Injunctive Relief. See Exhibit “A” attached hereto. 1.03 On March 5, 2012, Plaintiff provided notice that Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Receiver had been set for hearing on March 16, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. See Exhibit “B” attached hereto. However, a telephone call to the Court Clerk and review of the Court’s docket confirms that the hearing set for March 16, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. is on Plaintiff's Motion for Expedited Hearing filed on February 6, 2012, not on Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Receiver as noticed by Plaintiff. See Exhibit “C” attached hereto. 1.04 On March 13, 2012, three days before the hearing, a process server delivered a Witness Subpoena to the offices of Nowak & Stauch, LLP, which sought the attendance of Defendant Joseph Geeting at the March 16, 2012 hearing, as well as the production of documents. See Exhibit “D” attached hereto. IL. OBJECTIONS TO WITNESS SUBPOENA AND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS A Setting for March 16, 2012 is not an Evidentiary Hearing 2.01 Defendant Joseph Geeting objects to the Witness Subpoena requesting his presence at the hearing set for March 16, 2012 given the fact that this is not an evidentiary hearing and merely a setting on Plaintiff's Motion for Expedited Hearing filed on February 6, 2012. Defendant Joseph Geeting further objects to the production of documents and respectfully requests that the Court enter an order protecting him from the referenced Witness Subpoena. Page 2 B. Subpoena of Witnesses and Documents 2.02 A party who issues a subpoena should be “diligent” in procuring witness’s testimony. See Hatteberg v. Hatterberg, 933 S.W.2d 522, 526 (Tex.App.—Houston [1* Dist.] 1994, no writ). Moreover, a party causing a subpoena to issue must take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense on the person served. Tex. R. Civ. P. 176.7. In ruling on objections or motions for protection, the court must provide a person served with a subpoena adequate time for compliance, protection from disclosure of privileged information and protection from undue burden or expense. Jd. On motion the court is authorized to quash or modify the subpoena if it is unreasonable or oppressive or condition denial of the motion on advancement of reasonable costs by the party in whose behalf the subpoena issued. Automatic Drilling Machs., Inc. v. Miller, 515 S.W.2d 256, 259 (Tex. 1974). 2,03 Plaintiff's subpoena requests duplicative information already produced to Plaintiff's counsel prior to mediation. Moreover, uch of this information is not readily available to be produced. Some of the documents requested will take more than two (2) days to locate and/or generate. As such, and subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Defendant Joseph Geeting will, in good faith, attempt to bring some of the document production requested in the Witness Subpoena to the March 16, 2012 setting on Plaintiffs Motion for Expedited Hearing. PRAYER WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendant Joseph Geeting respectfully requests that the Court sustain his objections to Plaintiff Craig Dyer’s request for document production, enter an order protecting Defendant from the referenced Witness Subpoena, prohibit Plaintiff Craig Dyer from eliciting testimony from the subpoenaed Defendant or to be able to Page 3 compel production of the documents requested in the subpoena, and for such other and further relief, at law or equity, to which Defendant Joseph Geeting may be justly entitled.

(“DCI”) and moves the Court to conduct an expedited hearing on his Motion for Appointment of a Receiver and/or for Injunctive Relief and respectfully shows the Court as follows: MOTION FOR EXPEDITED HEARING Page 1 H:\Clients\Dyer\DCI\Pleadings\Motion to Appoint Receiver EXHIBIT A | As the Court is aware, the jury returned its verdict in this case in July 2010. Thereafter, the Court ordered the parties to mediation, which has failed. In November and December 2011, the Court heard the parties’ respective motions with respect to the entry of judgment, however, the Court did not hear the Plaintiff's motion to appoint a receiver indicating that the motion was premature given that a judgment would be forthcoming. However, no judgment has been entered to date. Late last week, the Plaintiff was informed that many of the assets of DCI have now been sold, including numerous trucks, and numerous employees and independent contractors working for the company have been fired or have quit. In other words, it appears that the company is rapidly deteriorating and time is of the essence in order for Plaintiff's rights to be protected. Counsel for the Defendants has received a letter regarding the situation at DCI, but Mr. Nowak has failed to respond. Accordingly, Plaintiff requests an expedited hearing on its motion for appointment of a receiver or, in the alternative, for temporary injunctive relief.
