A subpoena being driven by attorney “paranoia” in a Georgia-based copyright violations case should be quashed, according to a motion filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Wednesday.

William Rosenblatt, an expert witness in digital music cases, is trying to keep a one-time potential client from deposing him in Manhattan, over what he alleges is “the very epitome of litigation paranoia.”

Rosenblatt, represented by New Jersey-based Tenaglia & Hunt name attorney James Hunt Jr., says he was approached by Georgia-based private attorney David Lilenfeld as a potential expert witness in an ongoing copyright violations case, Atlantic Recording v. Spinrilla, 17-cv-00431, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
