IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
United Association National Pension Fund, et
al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Carvana Company, et al.,
Respondents.
No. CV-22-02126-PHX-MTL
ORDER
Pending before the Court is Carvana Defendants’ “Motion for Issuance of Letters
of Request for International Judicial Assistance” (“Motion for Issuance of Letters of
Request”).1 (Doc. 559.) In the Instant Motion, Defendants request the issuance of two
letters of request to the appropriate judicial authority of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland (“U.K.”) “to procure documents from Legal & General
Investment Management LTD (“LGIM”) and Pelham Capital Ltd. (“Pelham”) and
deposition testimony from Kavyan Larizadeh (“Larizadeh”), an employee of Pelham.” (Id.
at 2.) Plaintiffs have filed a Response in opposition to Defendants’ request, see (doc. 575),
and Defendants have filed a Reply in support of their Motion. See (doc. 579.) Because the
letters of request comply with the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970 on the Taking of
Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters (“Hague Convention”), are not unduly
burdensome, and do not clearly misstate the law, the Court shall grant the Motion with
modifications. Namely, the Court shall modify the requesting authority and reduce the
1 Discovery matters in this action have been referred to this Court by the presiding
United States District Judge. (Doc. 125.)

requested deposition time from 14 hours to 10 hours.
I. BACKGROUND.
As the Court previously noted:
This action, in which Plaintiffs aver that Defendants violated the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is based on an alleged “pumping” and
“dumping” of stock. (Doc. 105 at 2–3.) Part of Defendants’ alleged misdeeds
was the sale of vehicles before Defendants possessed the titles to such
vehicles. (Id. at 2–3, 45.) Such acts, Plaintiffs have alleged, relates to
Defendants’ scienter—an element of a security fraud claim. (Id. at 41–42,
45–48.) Grounding Plaintiffs’ T&R allegations were confidential witness
accounts from a number of CWs, including CW-4. (Id. at 45–48.)
While the Presiding Judge dismissed portions of Plaintiffs’ Amended
Complaint [(“AC”)], the T&R allegations that Defendants sold cars before
they possessed those cars’ titles remained. (Id. at 69–73.) This decision was
based, at least in part, upon a finding that the CWs’ accounts were “probative
of Defendants’ scienter by suggesting precisely what Plaintiffs allege—that
Carvana’s noncompliance with title and registration requirements was
widespread and persistent, and Defendants were well aware of the issue.” (Id.
at 48.)
(Doc. 394 at 2.)
At issue today are two proposed letters of request directed at allocants LGIM and
Pelham—which, regarding the latter, contains both a request for production of documents
and a request to depose Larizadeh, an employee of Pelham. (Doc. 559 at 2.) The instant
discovery Motion is one of a growing list of discovery motions regarding allocants. See
(doc. 522); see also (doc. 594.) The “allocants” in question are putative—i.e., absent—
class members, some of whom have voluntarily communicated and provided declarations
supporting Defendants’ defense in the instant action. See (doc. 568 at 11.)
Concerning allocants LGIM and Pelham, these are capital management companies
located within the U.K. who had participated in Defendant Carvana’s April 2022 secondary
offering. (Doc. 559 at 3.) Defendants seek to procure documents from these companies
because they “possess unique information regarding their respective knowledge of the
allegedly omitted information that is directly relevant to the claims and defenses in this
action.” (Id.) Additionally, Defendants seek to depose Larizadeh, an employee of Pelham,

because he was involved in Pelham’s decision to participate in the April 2022 secondary

II. LEGAL STANDARDS.
The Hague Convention is a multilateral treaty that “prescribes certain procedures
by which a judicial authority in one contracting state may request evidence located in
another contracting state.”2 Société Nationale Industrielle Aérospatiale v. U.S. Dist. Court
for S. Dist., 482 U.S. 522, 524 (1987). Among the procedures established in the Hague
Convention “is the issuance of a formal written request sent by a domestic court to a foreign
court for the purpose of obtaining evidence in a pending action.” Champion v. Feld Entm’t,
Inc., No. 20-cv-2400-JO-KSC, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99151, at *5 (S.D. Cal. June 2,
2022) (cleaned up). In other words, “Signatory States to the Hague Convention agree that
in civil or commercial matters a judicial authority of a Contracting State may, . . . request
the competent authority of another Contracting State, by means of a Letter of Request,3, 4
to obtain evidence, or to perform some other judicial act.” Multimedia Patent Tr. v. Apple
Inc., No. 10-CV-2618-H, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 192123, at *8 (S.D. Cal. July 27, 2012)
(citations omitted).
The use of the Hague Convention to seek evidence and conduct depositions abroad
is neither the sole nor obligatory statutory vehicle a party may employ. See Société
Nationale, 482 U.S. at 542. Rather, the Hague Convention “is an optional supplement to
the Federal Rules to facilitate the taking of evidence abroad.” Multimedia Patent Tr., 2012
2 The Hague Convention “is the law of the United States with the same effect and
force of a federal statute.” T.R.P. Co. v. Similasan AG, No. 2:17-cv-02197-JCM-CWH,
2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 56188, at *3 (D. Nev. Mar. 27, 2019) (citations omitted); El Al Isr.
Airlines v. Tsui Yuan Tseng, 525 U.S. 155, 167 (1999) (noting that “a treaty ratified by the
United States is . . . the law of the land”) (citing U.S. Const. art. II, § 2).
3 “A letter of request or letter rogatory ‘is the request by a domestic court to a foreign
court to take evidence from a certain witness.’” Simon & Simon, PC v. Align Tech., Inc.,
No. 20-cv-03754-VC (TSH), 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 196762, at *12 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 28,
2022) (citing Intel Corp. v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 542 U.S. 241, 247 n.1 (2004)).
4 It should be noted that a letter rogatory “is synonymous with a letter of request[.]”

U.S. Dist. LEXIS 192123, at *9.
“The issuance of an evidence request is a matter within both the authority and the
discretion of the federal court.” Champion, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99151, at *6 (citing
Scalia v. Int’l Longshore & Warehouse Union, 337 F.R.D. 281, 288 (N.D. Cal. 2020));
Crocs, Inc. v. La Modish Boutique, No. CV 21-5641-SVW (KKx), 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
245444, at *4 (C.D. Cal. Nov. 12, 2021) (“Whether to issue such a letter is a matter of
discretion for the court.”) (citation omitted). “Before issuing a letter of request, the Court
must analyze the specific facts and consider the foreign jurisdiction’s interests to determine
if the Hague Convention procedures are appropriate and will be effective.”5 Champion,
2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99151, at *6–7 (citing Société Nationale, 482 U.S. at 546 (noting
that U.S. courts must “exercise special vigilance to protect foreign litigants from . . .
unnecessary[] or unduly burdensome[] discovery”)).
However, this review is not overly onerous, considering that “courts in the Ninth
Circuit ‘have held that motions requesting issuance of a letter of request or letter rogatory
should generally be granted and that the opposing party must show good reason for a court
to deny an application for a letter rogatory.’” Webpros Int’l, LLC v. Asli, No. 3:22-cv-
01963-IM, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 108922, at *4–5 (D. Or. June 20, 2024) (quoting Zoho
Corp. PVT. Ltd v. Freshworks, Inc., No. 20-cv-01869-VC (TSH), 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
124432, at *7 (N.D. Cal. July 2, 2021)). “That is because discovery by letters rogatory and
requests ‘is consistent with the liberal discovery provisions of Rule 26,’ . . . which in turn
permits discovery regarding ‘any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim
5 As a preliminary matter, the Court notes that, because Defendants seek discovery
from foreign non-parties, the circumstances of this case do not require an analysis of the
five-factor comity analysis. See Nike, Inc. v. Sketchers U.S.A., Inc., No. CV 23-9346 AB
(PVC), 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 280152, at *8 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 22, 2025) (noting that the
Société Nationale comity factors were inapplicable where the plaintiff sought discovery
from foreign nonparties—not a foreign defendant whom the court has personal jurisdiction
over—so it was not a case where the “application of American law would directly affect
the sovereignty of a foreign nation”) (quoting Miss. Poultry Ass’n v. Madigan, 992 F.2d
1359, 1367 (5th Cir. 1993)); see also Desirous Parties Unlimited Inc. v. Right Connection
Inc., No. 2:21-cv-01838-GMN-BNW, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 8437, at *5 n.3 (D. Nev. Jan.
18, 2023) (setting out the five-factor comity analysis employed by courts within the Ninth
Circuit); Dalrada Fin. Corp. v. Bonar, No. 24-cv-2166-BTM-BLM, 2026 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 52684, at *8 (S.D. Cal. Mar. 12, 2026) (“Consideration of the comity factors is not
required.”).

or defense and proportional to the needs of the case.’” Webpros Int’l, LLC, 2024 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 108922, at *5 (first citing Viasat, Inc. v. Space Sys., No. 12-CV-0260-H (WVG),
2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 196700, at *36 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 14, 2013); then citing Fed. R. Civ.
P. 26(b)(1)).
At a minimum, a letter of request shall identify:
(a) the authority requesting its execution and the authority requested to
execute it, if known to the requesting authority;
(b) the names and addresses of the parties to the proceedings and their
representatives, if any;
(c) the nature of the proceedings for which the evidence is required, giving
all necessary information in regard thereto;
(d) the evidence to be obtained or other judicial act to be performed.
Hague Convention, art. 3, 23 U.S.T. 2555 (Oct. 7, 1972).
And, in the appropriate situation, the letter of request shall identify:
(e) the names and addresses of the persons to be examined;
(f) the questions to be put to the persons to be examined or a statement of the
subject-matter about which they are to be examined;
(g) the documents or other property, real or personal, to be inspected;
(h) any requirement that the evidence is to be given on oath or affirmation,
and any special form to be used;
(i) any special method or procedure to be followed under Article 9.
Id.
Because a letter of requests “constitutes a request from the Court for assistance, not
from a party, care should be taken to ensure that the synopsis of the case is not unduly
argumentative, or state or suggest that the Court has reached factual conclusions at this
stage of the proceedings.” Anstalt v. Bacardi & Co., No. CV 16-6411 CAS (FFMx), 2018
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 227414, at *10 (C.D. Cal. June 25, 2018).
III. DISCUSSION.
The parties disagree on whether Defendants should be permitted to conduct allocant
discovery via letters of request. Specifically, Plaintiffs raise four arguments in opposition
to Defendants’ Motion for Issuance of Letters of Request. First, Plaintiffs aver that the
instant request amounts to disfavored absent class-member discovery. (Doc. 575 at 4–7.)

Second, Plaintiffs assert that the instant discovery request would unduly burden foreign
allocants and would be disproportionate to Defendants’ needs in this action. (Id. at 7–9.)
Third, Plaintiffs challenge the proposed two-day deposition of Larizadeh, asserting that it
violates this Court’s February 17, 2026 Order (doc. 326) and would be unduly burdensome.
(Id. at 9–10.) Fourth, Plaintiffs assert that the proposed letters of request misstate the
applicable law in this action. (Id. at 10–12.)
The Court shall address the instant discovery dispute as follows. First, the Court
shall analyze whether the instant discovery request permissibly seeks materials from the
allocants, who are absent class members. Second, the Court shall address Plaintiffs’ undue
burden and proportionality arguments. Third, the Court shall address whether Defendants
request to conduct 14 hours of deposition is or is not permissible. Finally, the Court shall
address whether the letters of request are proper.
A. Absent Class Member Discovery.
Plaintiffs assert that Defendants are attempting to embark upon impermissible
absent class-member discovery. For the following reasons, the Court disagrees.
As a general matter, “[d]iscovery from absent class members is ordinarily not
permitted.” McPhail v. First Command Fin. Planning, Inc., 251 F.R.D. 514, 517 (S.D. Cal.
2008). This is because “an absent class-action plaintiff is not required to do anything” in a
class action suit. Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Shutts, 472 U.S. 797, 810 (1985) (noting that
an absent class member “may sit back and allow the litigation to run its course, content in
knowing that there are safeguards provided for his protection”). “Another, perhaps more
compelling, reason for not subjecting absent class members to discovery is the fear that
defendants will use burdensome discovery requests as a method of unfairly reducing the
number of class members.” On the House Syndication, Inc. v. Fed. Express Corp., 203
F.R.D. 452, 456 (S.D. Cal. 2001) (citations omitted).
“Although courts do not usually allow discovery from absent class members, the
rules pertaining to such discovery are flexible, especially where the proposed deponents
have been identified as potential witnesses or have otherwise injected themselves into the

litigation.” Brown v. Wal-Mart Store, Inc., No. 09-cv-03339-EJD (SVK), 2018 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 4027, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 9, 2018) (citations omitted). Given these flexible
discovery rules, “District courts . . . have discretion to allow limited discovery from absent
class members if the particular circumstances of a specific case justify it.” Briseno v.
ConAgra Foods, Inc., 844 F.3d 1121, 1131 n.10 (9th Cir. 2017) (citing WILLIAM B.
RUBENSTEIN, Newberg on Class Actions § 9:13 (5th ed. 2013) (“[C]ertain forms of limited
discovery from absent class members may be permitted in certain circumstances.”)).
Notwithstanding the Ninth Circuit’s aforementioned finding, “[n]either the
Supreme Court nor the Ninth Circuit have provided guidance as to when discovery on
absent class members is permitted.” Johnston v. Hertz Local Edition Corp., 331 F.R.D.
140, 141 (E.D. Cal. 2019). In the absence of appellate guidance, courts throughout the
district have adopted several tests to determine whether absent class member discovery
should be permitted in a given case. See id. (applying a four-factor test based upon the
standards articulated by the Seventh Circuit in Clark v. Universal Builders, Inc., 501 F.2d
324 (7th Cir. 1974)); see also Tierno v. Rite Aid Corp., No. C 05-02520 TEH, 2008 U.S.
Dist. LEXIS 112461, at *17 (N.D. Cal. July 8, 2008) (“[D]iscovery has been permitted in
certain circumstances, [(1)] where the information sought is relevant, [(2)] not readily
obtainable from the representative parties or other sources, and [(3)] the request is not
unduly burdensome and made in good faith.”); Arredondo v. Delano Farms Co., No. 1:09-
cv-01247 MJS, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 145562, at *12–13 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 10, 2014)
(“[T]he Court concludes that as a general rule, discovery from absent class members may
be permitted [(1)] when reasonably necessary, [(2)] not conducted for an improper purpose,
and [(3)] not unduly burdensome in the context of the case and its issues.”).
Out of the aforementioned tests, the Court finds—as several of its sister districts
have found—“that the most useful test . . . is the Arredondo test due to its ability to ‘easily
encompass the more specific Clark factors,’ as well as those of other courts.” Sun Gon
Kang v. Credit Bureau Connection, Inc., No. 1:18-cv-01359-AWI-SKO, 2022 U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 201837, at *8 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 4, 2022) (quoting Aldapa v. Fowler Packing Co.,

No. 1:15-cv-00420-DAD-SAB, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 35284, at *14 (E.D. Cal. Mar. 5,
2019)). And, in applying the Arredondo factors, the Court finds that Defendants’ instant
discovery request is permissible.
First, the Court finds that the proposed absent class member discovery is reasonably
necessary. As Defendants note in their Motion, “LGIM and Pelham possess unique
information regarding their respective knowledge of the allegedly omitted information that
is directly relevant to the claims and defenses in this action.” (Doc. 559 at 3); (doc. 579 at
6–7.) Similarly, Larizadeh appears to possess “unique information relevant to
[Defendants’] defenses.” (Doc. 559 at 3); (doc. 579 at 6–7.) Given that a class members
actual knowledge may, based upon the circumstances of the case, be of consequence to
either a section 11 and 12 claim or class certification, cf. Vignola v. Fat Brands, No. CV
18-7469 PSG (PLAx), 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 73577, at *13 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2020),
the Court finds the instant request relevant. Hence, the first Arredondo factor is satisfied.
Second, The Court does not find that Defendants are attempting to conduct the
instant discovery for an improper purpose. The instant discovery request does not appear
to be an attempt by Defendants to harass or take advantage of absent class members. See
Vignola v. Fat Brands, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 73577, at *13–14. Nor does the instant
discovery request appear to pose “a chilling effect on [absent class members’] willingness
to be part of the class.” Antoninetti v. Chipotle, Inc., No. 06cv2671-BTM (WMc), 2011
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 54854, at *5 (S.D. Cal. May 23, 2011). Additionally, it is “[a]lso
persuasive . . . that Defendant[s] seeks one deposition, not thousands,” Hall v. Marriott
Int’l, Inc., No. 3:21-cv-1370-JLS-AHG, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 160965, at *22 (S.D. Cal.
Aug. 25, 2021), and only documents from only two absent class members.
Third, considering that Defendants seek the production of documents from two
allocants and only a single deposition, the Court does not find that the instant discovery
request is unduly burdensome in the context of this case. While it is true that the instant
discovery request is unique in that it seeks to obtain discovery abroad, the request’s
uniqueness does not render it so unduly burdensome to preclude discovery here.

Given the foregoing, the Court finds that Defendants’ instant request to conduct
absent class-member discovery is permissible.
B. Undue Burden and Proportionality.
Plaintiff next asserts that the instant letter of request “will unduly burden foreign
nonparties and is not proportional to the needs of th[is] case.” (Doc. 575 at 7.) This
argument is unavailing because Plaintiffs lacks standing to assert either an undue burden
or proportionality argument on the behalf of nonparties LGIM, Pelham, and Larizadeh.
“Like all discovery, motions for letters of request are subject to the standards of
Rule 26(b), which provides that parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged
matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense,” Successor Agency to the Former
Emeryville Redevelopment Agency v. Swagelok Co., No. 17-cv-00308-WHO, 2020 U.S.
Dist. LEXIS 224963, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 1, 2020) (citation omitted), and is “proportional
to the needs of the case[.]” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). Although the scope of discovery “is
broad,” it is “not unlimited.” Champion, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99151, at *10 (citation
omitted).
Here, Plaintiffs challenge the proposed letters of request on undue burden and
proportionality grounds. See (doc. 575 at 7–9.) But, Plaintiffs are neither required to
produce documents nor sit for a deposition. Rather, foreign nonparties are the targets of
Defendants’ letters of request. The Court notes that other courts have found that a party has
no standing to challenge a letter of request issued to a foreign nonparty on the ground that
such discovery would inflict an undue burden.6 See Orient Plus Int’l Ltd. v. Baosheng
Media Grp. Holdings Ltd., No. 1:24-cv-00744 (JLR), 2026 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 87621, at *12
(S.D.N.Y. Apr. 21, 2026); see also Sahu v. Union Carbide Corp., 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
944, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 10, 2006) (“Plaintiffs request international assistance in the form
of a Letter Rogatory to obtain documents from a third party. Defendants make several
objections to the request. Absent special circumstances, however, a party may not seek a
6 Because this is not a § 1782 matter, Plaintiffs cannot avail themselves of In re
Request for Judicial Assistance from Seoul Dist. Criminal Court’s finding that “[t]he party

IBJ Schroder Leasing Corp., 93 Civ. 5375 (SAS)(HBP), 96 Civ. 1816 (SAS)(HBP), 1996
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15183, at *7 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 10, 1996) (“[I]n the absence of a claim of
privilege, we fail to see how PKFinans has standing to object to discovery sought from a
non-party.”). And, regarding proportionality, other courts within this district have found
that—in the context of subpoenas—“a non-recipient party cannot move to quash or modify
a subpoena on relevance, cost, or proportionality grounds.” Fed. Trade Comm’n v. Grand
Canyon Educ. Inc., No. CV-23-02711-PHX-DWL, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 40240, at *30
(D. Ariz. Mar. 6, 2025) (citations omitted). Hence, it does not appear that Plaintiffs have
standing to challenge the letters of request on undue burden and proportionality grounds.
Regardless, the “Court concludes that resolving the question of [Plaintiffs’] standing
to object is not necessary for a resolution of the question of whether to issue . . . letter[s]
of request.” See Brown v. State St. Corp., No. 05-11178-NG, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
106235, at *10 (D. Mass. Mar. 20, 2006). First, as the Court noted in supra section III.A,
the instant requests would not impose an undue burden on nonparties. Second, the Court
finds the instant discovery eminently proportional in light of the issues at stake, the parties’
resources, and the importance of the instant discovery in resolving issues in this action.7
Cf. Assuredpartners of Cal. Ins. Servs. LLC v. Pahl, No. CV-25-00693-TUC-RM, 2026
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 52049, at *5 (D. Ariz. Mar. 13, 2026) (“In considering whether discovery
is proportional to the needs of the case, the court must consider ‘the importance of the
issues at stake in the action, the amount in controversy, the parties’ relative access to
relevant information, the parties’ resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving

Dist. LEXIS 108922, at *7 (“Finally, this Court notes that, pursuant to the Convention, the

the issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its
likely benefit.’”) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1)).
For the foregoing reasons, the Court does not find that the instant letters of request
are disproportionate or would impose an undue burden upon the foreign nonparties.
C. Deposition Time.
The next matter the Court will address is whether the to permit the parties to depose
Larizadeh for 14 hours over the course of two days. For the following reasons, the Court
will allot 10 hours of time for the deposition of Larizadeh, wherein Defendants shall be
allotted seven hours and Plaintiffs three.
Rule 30 governs the procedures for conducting depositions via oral examination.
Loop AI Labs, Inc. v. Gatti, No. 15-cv-00798-HSG (DMR), 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
126078, at *11 (N.D. Cal. Sep. 18, 2015). Under the rule, “[a]ctions are presumptively
limited to a single deposition of a part . . . lasting one day of seven hours of examination[.]”
Playup, Inc. v. Mintas, 344 F.R.D. 429, 433 (D. Nev. 2023) (citations omitted). Hence, a
hard cap of seven hours is the norm. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1).
“The Federal Rules give district courts broad discretion to manage the manner in
which discovery proceeds, including the manner in which examination time is allocated
among competing parties at a time-limited deposition.” United States v. Glob. Bus. Travel
Grp., Inc., 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 34030, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 24, 2025) (cleaned up).
“The Committee Notes to the 2000 Amendments to Rule 30 explain that the presumptive
duration may be extended, or otherwise altered, by agreement. Absent agreement, a court
order is needed.” Syncora Guarantee, Inc. v. EMC Mortg. Corp., No. C 12-80028 SI, 2012
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30877, at *4–5 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 8, 2012) (cleaned up). The party seeking
a court-ordered extension “is expected to show good cause to justify such an order.” Id.;

multi-party cases, the need for each party to examine the witness may warrant additional
time, although duplicative questioning is discouraged[.] Whether good cause exists to
extend a deposition beyond the presumptive time limit of seven hours is a fact-specific
determination.”) (cleaned up and emphasis added).
“The examination and cross-examination of a deponent proceed as they would at
trial under the Federal Rules of Evidence[.]” Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(c)(1). “As the Committee
Notes on Rules for the 2000 Amendment explain, it is expected that in most instances the
parties and the witness will make reasonable accommodations to avoid the need for resort
to the court[.] Preoccupation with timing is to be avoided.” Syncora Guarantee, Inc., 2012
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30877, at *3–4 (cleaned up and emphasis added); Sexton v. Exxon Mobil
Corp., No. 17-482-JWD-RLB, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 19505, at *8 (M.D. La. Jan. 31,
2020) (“It is expected that in most instances the parties and the witness will make
reasonable accommodations to avoid the need for resort to the court.”) (citation omitted).
Here, the parties dispute whether the deposition of Larizedah should be permitted
to exceed one seven-hour day. Compare (doc. 575 at 9–10) with (doc. 579 at 10–12).
Plaintiffs specifically cite to this Court’s February 17, 2026, Order—which states that the
parties may make requests for additional time “as a last resort,” (doc. 326 at 8) (emphasis
omitted)—to support their argument that extra time is unwarranted here. See (doc. 575 at
9–10.)
The Court finds that Defendants have established sufficient good cause to permit
three additional hours of deposition time, with two hours going to Defendants and one hour
going to Plaintiffs. The reason for this finding is twofold. First, the Court finds that as
Larizadeh is a foreign national, extra time for questioning is because of the parties’ inability
to compel his testimony at trial. Second, this Court’s prior Order is not so rigid as to
preclude any extension of the presumptive seven-hour limit. Hence, additional time is
warranted here. While additional time is warranted, the Court does not find good cause to
permit seven additional hours. Specifically, the Court expresses concern that permitting
seven additional hours would result in duplicative questioning. Instead, the Court finds

three additional hours warranted here. These three additional hours will be split as follows:
(a) two additional hours shall be allotted to Defendants; and (b) one additional hour shall
be allotted to Plaintiffs. Dividing the ten total hours of depositions seven–three preserves
the 70%–30% split established in this Court’s February 17, 2026, Order, and mitigates the
risk of duplicative questioning.
D. Adequacy of Letters of Request.
Finally, the Court shall analyze whether Defendants have met their burden of
showing the letters of request should be issued. “Given the liberal standard for issuance of
letters of request,” Simon & Simon, PC v. Align Tech., Inc., No. 20-cv-03754-VC (TSH),
2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 196762, at *13 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 28, 2022), and for the reasons stated
below, the Court finds that Defendants have met their burden of showing that the letters
should be issued.
“Courts have uniformly recognized that it is appropriate for a party to invoke the
Hague Evidence Convention when evidence is requested from a non-party located abroad
that is not subject to the court’s jurisdiction.” Webpros Int’l, LLC, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
108922, at *5 (citations omitted). Usually, when a party requests issuance of a letter of
request under the Hague Convention, a court will grant the request “absent a showing by
the opposing party demonstrating good cause to deny the motion.” Parsons Xtreme Golf
LLC v. Taylor Made Golf Co., No. CV-17-03125-PHX-JJT, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
139555, at *4 (D. Ariz. Aug. 17, 2018).
Under this liberal standard, Plaintiffs has failed to demonstrate good cause to deny
the instant Motion. As an initial matter, the Court finds that Defendants’ letters of request
satisfy the requirements of the Hague Convention art. 3 because the letters contain: (a) “the
authority requesting its execution and the authority requested to execute it”; (b) “the names
and addresses of the parties to the proceedings and their representatives”; (c) “the nature
of the proceedings for which the evidence is required, giving all necessary information in
regard thereto”; and (d) “the evidence to be obtained or other judicial act to be performed.”
See Hague Convention, art. 3, 23 U.S.T. 2555 (Oct. 7, 1972); see also (doc. 559-1.) Thus,

Defendants’ proposed letters satisfy the requirements of the Hague Convention.
Next, turning to Plaintiffs’ main challenge to the instant letters—that they “misstate
the applicable law,” (doc. 575 at 10–11)—the Court does not find the instant argument
persuasive. Plaintiffs, in their response, specifically argue that the instant letters misstate
the elements of claim under § 12(a)(2), 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a)(2), in that the instant letters state
that lack of knowledge is an element of a § 12(a)(2) claim, not an affirmative defense. (Id.
at 11.) Given this, Plaintiffs aver that the letters of request, in their instant form, should not
be issued as they misstate the applicable law to the degree that it would confuse the foreign
tribunal. (Id.) Plaintiffs rely on Walther-Meade v. Leidos, Inc., No. 22cv1777-JAH(BLM),
2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 77591 (S.D. Cal. May 3, 2023) and MSK Covertech, Inc. v. Fevisa
Indus., S.A. de C.V., No. 23cv741-DMS (MSB), 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 110117 (S.D. Cal.
June 26, 2023) to support their position. (Id.) Defendants, in turn, argue that they relied
upon the statutory text in drafting the letters’ statements of the case, which “imposes
liability only where ‘the purchaser [did] not know[] of such untruth or omission’ at the time
they purchased the stock.” (Doc. 579 at 12) (quoting 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a)(2)).
The Court does not find Plaintiffs’ argument availing. Regarding the statutory text
of § 12(a)(2)—and as Defendants correctly note—it does note that liability may be had
only where “the purchaser [did] not know[] of such untruth or omission” at the time of
purchase. See 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a)(2). So, it does appear that a purchaser’s knowledge would
play a part in Plaintiffs’ case-in-chief. See 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a)(2); see also Casella v. Webb,
883 F.2d 805, 809 (9th Cir. 1989) (“[P]urchasers may recover unless they have actual
knowledge of the untruth or omission.”). But see Bos. Ret. Sys. v. Uber Techs., Inc., No.
19-cv-06361-RS, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 132641, at *9 (N.D. Cal. July 26, 2022) (“Actual
knowledge is a defense to claims under Sections 11 and 12.”).
In any event, even if actual knowledge was an affirmative defense as opposed to an
element of a § 12(a)(2) claim, the distinction is not dispositive here. First, the Court does
not find that the statement of the case, as currently written, would mislead the foreign
tribunal. Although letters of request must comply with the dictates of the Hague

Convention, neither the Convention nor federal caselaw requires the statement of facts to
be a law review article. Cf. Webpros Int’l, LLC, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 108922, at *6–7
(“The letter contains all of the relevant addresses and discusses the nature of the
proceedings, as well as the nature of the evidence sought[.] Further, the letter is in English,
which the Convention permits under Article 4. This is all sufficient under the
Convention.”). Regardless of whether actual knowledge is an element of a claim or an
affirmative defense, it may nonetheless be “a dispositive issue as to [Plaintiffs’] Securities
Act claims[.]” Doc. 559-1 at 10.) Consequently, Defendants’ statement of the case does
not misstate the governing law to the point it would mislead or confuse the receiving
sovereign’s courts.
Second, the Court does not find Plaintiffs’ reliance on Walther-Meade or MSK
Covertech availing here. Beginning with the latter, while the court in MSK Covertech
refused to issue the plaintiff’s letter of request as currently written, it did not due so based
on concern that it would confuse a foreign tribunal. 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 110117, at *3.
No, it did so because the plaintiff patently failed to correctly cite documents in the record.
Id. Thus, the MSK Covertech court was not called upon to interpret an unclear statutory
provision, nor was its decision based upon a concern that the statement of the case would
confuse a foreign tribunal. And regarding Walther-Meade, where the court likewise refused
to issue a letter of request, the court there was not required to interpret an unclear statutory
provision as this Court is required to do. See 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 77591, at *13–14.
Rather, the Walther-Meade court refused to issue the letters of request because the letter
cited “Federal Rule of Evidence 34,” a non-existent rule. Id. at *14. In short, neither
Walther-Meade nor MSK Covertech aid Plaintiffs’ argument here.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court does not find that the instant letters of request
threaten to confuse tribunals in the U.K.8
//
8 As a final note, the Court’s instant finding regarding the interpretation of § 12(a)(2)
does not govern how the Presiding Judge will interpret § 12(a)(2) on class certification or
at trial. The Court’s instant finding solely applies to the instant discovery request.

IV. CONCLUSION.
Because Defendants’ proposed letters of request the comply with the Hague
Convention, are not unduly burdensome, and does not clearly misstate the law, the Court
shall grant the instant Motion. However, because the Court finds that three additional
deposition hours, not seven, are warranted here, the Court shall modify the instant letters
accordingly. Finally, the Court shall modify the instant letters to reflect that undersigned is
the sending authority.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion for Issuance of Letters of Request (doc.
559) are GRANTED AS MODIFIED. The Clerk of Court is kindly directed to provide
the signed Letters of Request to Defendants’ counsel Meryn C.N. Grant at:
meryn.grant@lw.com. It shall be the responsibility of Defendants to deliver the letters of
request and all relevant materials to the appropriate authorities in the U.K.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants’ deposition of Larizedah is limited
to TEN (10) HOURS over two days, whereby Defendants shall have SEVEN (7) HOURS
to examine the Larizedah, and Plaintiffs shall have THREE (3) HOURS to cross-examine.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer within FIVE
(5) DAYS to determine how the parties will divide the collective 10 deposition hours over
the course of two days. AS A LAST RESORT, the parties may request Court assistance on
how to divide the collective 10 deposition hours over the course of two days.
Dated this 12th day of August, 2026.

REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL
JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE PURSUANT
TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION OF
18 MARCH 1970 ON THE TAKING OF
EVIDENCE ABROAD IN CIVIL OR
COMMERCIAL MATTERS
TO THE SENIOR MASTER OF THE KING’S BENCH DIVISION OF THE HIGH
COURT OF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND AND WALES:
The United States District Court for the District of Arizona respectfully requests
judicial assistance pursuant to the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970 on the Taking of
Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters (the “Hague Evidence Convention”), to
which both the United States and the United Kingdom are parties, to obtain documentary
evidence to be used at the trial of pending civil proceeding before this Court in the above-
captioned matter. The United States District Court for the District of Arizona is a competent
court of law and equity which properly has jurisdiction over this proceeding and has the
power to compel the production of documents and the attendance of witnesses both within
and outside its jurisdiction.
This Court respectfully asks that this Letter of Request be executed, and that
Defendants be permitted to obtain documentary evidence sought from Legal & General
Investment Management Ltd. (“LGIM”).

This Court considers that the evidence sought herein is directly relevant to the issues
in dispute for determination at trial, is evidence intended for use at trial, and without which
the ends of justice could not be properly met. This Court also believes that this evidence is
available to LGIM and not available from any other source. This request is made with the
understanding that it will in no way require any person to commit any offense, or to
undergo a broader form of inquiry than he or she would if the litigation were conducted in
England and Wales. In the proper exercise of its authority, this Court has determined that
the documentary evidence is highly relevant to the determination of these proceedings and
cannot be secured except by the intervention of the Senior Master of the King’s Bench
Division of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales.

7. Nature of the proceedings:
This is a putative class action lawsuit in which Lead Plaintiffs UANPF and SHEPP
(“Plaintiffs”) allege that Carvana, a U.S. publicly-traded online used-car retailer, and other
Carvana Defendants, who are officers and directors of Carvana, made materially
misleading statements and omissions in violation of U.S. federal securities laws.
Specifically, Plaintiffs allege Carvana Defendants concealed from investors that Carvana
was systematically violating laws governing vehicle title and registration requirements, a
practice which was allegedly driving Carvana’s retail sales, and also concealed that other

business practices—including certain car-buying practices, nationwide expansion, and
related-party transactions—were driving Carvana’s growth. Plaintiffs seek to represent
individuals and entities who purchased Carvana’s common stock between May 6, 2020 and
October 7, 2022 and were damaged by the purported misleading statements and omissions.
Plaintiffs also seek to represent individuals and entities who received Carvana stock
directly through Carvana’s April 22, 2022 secondary offering (the “Offering”). Plaintiffs
assert claims individually and on behalf of class members pursuant to Section 10(b) and
Section 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §§78j(b) and 78t(a)),
and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. §§77k, 77l(a)(2),
and 77o) (“Securities Act claims”). Plaintiffs bring this action to recover damages caused
by the Defendants’ alleged wrongdoings. Defendants dispute the allegations and intend to
argue at trial, among other things, that any allegedly omitted information was already
public and indeed known by many of the investors comprising the putative class, including
LGIM.
LGIM is one of thirty-four non-Carvana-affiliated investors (“allocants”) who
received stock directly in the Offering. As such, LGIM is a putative class member for
Plaintiffs’ Securities Act claims, meaning, if the class is certified and LGIM does not opt
out, that LGIM will technically be a party to the litigation and certain aspects of Carvana
Defendants’ liability to LGIM and other putative class members will be determined at trial.
An investor’s absence of knowledge of the allegedly omitted information is an element of
Plaintiffs’ Securities Act claim under Section 12(a)(2), 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a)(2), and such
knowledge is an affirmative defense to Plaintiffs’ Section 11 claim,15 U.S.C. § 77k(a).
Accordingly, LGIM’s actual knowledge of the allegedly omitted information is a
dispositive issue as to their Securities Act claims that Carvana Defendants will test at trial,
and LGIM’s diligence prior to participating in the Offering, including what documents and
sources they reviewed, and what information was material to their decision, is also relevant
to matters to be determined at trial.
Further, LGIM’s knowledge regarding the allegedly omitted information, bases for

LGIM’s participation in the Offering, and what sources they consulted, are also relevant to
whether class-wide claims may be decided at trial at all. In this action, the U.S. court may
certify a class for Plaintiffs’ Securities Act claims only if it determines that common
questions predominate over individual inquiries. Because investor knowledge of the
allegedly-omitted information defeats the Securities Act claims, if individual inquiries into
investor knowledge are necessary, they foreclose a finding of predominance and preclude
class certification. See Vignola v. Fat Brands, 2020 WL 1934976, at *5 (C.D. Cal. Mar.
13, 2020); In re Kosmos Energy Ltd. Sec. Litig., 299 F.R.D. 133, 152-54 (N.D. Tex. 2014).
Accordingly, investor knowledge—including LGIM’s knowledge—is determinative of
what claims may be adjudicated at trial.
LGIM’s transactions in Carvana securities (including its common stock) in the
relevant period in and around the 2022 Offering, including any gains or losses on such
purchases, are relevant to the determination of the quantum of damages LGIM may receive.
See 15 U.S.C. § 77k(e) (setting forth a statutory formula for calculation of damages for
Securities Act claims that takes into account, among other things, “the price at which such
security shall have been disposed of in the market before [the] suit” was brought). LGIM’s
transactions in Carvana stock are also relevant to other defenses Carvana Defendants may
assert to LGIM’s Securities Act claims at trial, including that the claims are barred, in
whole or in part, because LGIM did not lose money or property that is traceable to any
wrongful act by any Carvana Defendant and/or traceable to stock purchased in Carvana’s
April 2022 Offering, and any of LGIM’s alleged injuries, damages, or losses were caused
by acts of third parties or superseding and intervening events unconnected to and outside
the control of the Carvana Defendants.
8. Evidence to be obtained:
a. Evidence to be obtained or other judicial act to be performed:
Carvana Defendants seek documentary evidence from LGIM concerning LGIM’s
diligence and decision to participate in the Offering, and LGIM’s transactions in Carvana
securities in the relevant period around the 2022 Offering. In particular, LGIM researched

and considered information in connection with LGIM’s decision to participate in the
Offering. And LGIM’s transactions in Carvana securities are information uniquely in
LGIM’s possession that are directly relevant to the trial determination of any damages for
LGIM’s Securities Act claims. As such, LGIM possesses evidence that is relevant and
material to the outcome of Plaintiffs’ claims for the reasons given in Section 7 above.
Carvana Defendants have attempted to request the documents and information they now
seek directly from LGIM but were unsuccessful.
In particular, Carvana seeks production of the documents described in the attached
Schedule A below. Each of the categories of documents described in Schedule A is directly
relevant to the dispute before this Court.
b. Purpose of the evidence of judicial act sought:
Each of the categories of documents described in Schedule A is directly relevant to
the claims Plaintiffs assert against Carvana Defendants in this litigation and to Carvana
Defendants’ responses and defenses to those claims. Accordingly, the evidence Carvana
Defendants seek is needed to evaluate the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims. Further, the evidence
sought is or is likely to be, in the possession, custody, or power of LGIM. Carvana
Defendants have been unable to obtain the requested evidence from other sources,
notwithstanding its efforts. The Court considers that it is necessary for the purposes of
justice and the determination of the matters in dispute that the documents described at
Schedule A below are produced in these proceedings.
9. Identity and address of entity and deponents to provide evidence:
a) Legal General Investment Management Limited
One Coleman Street London, EC2R 5AA
United Kingdom
10. Questions to be put to the persons to be examined or statement of the subject-
matter about which they are to be examined:
None
11. Documents or other property to be inspected:

privilege against criminal self-incrimination. Other limited privileges on grounds not
applicable here also exist, such as certain communications between doctors and patients,
husband and wife, and clergy and penitent. Certain limited immunities are also recognized

through its counsel of record: Meryn C.N. Grant, Latham & Watkins LLP, 10250
Constellation Blvd., Suite 1100 Los Angeles, CA 90067. Carvana’s payment of such fees

LETTER OF REQUEST NO. 2
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
United Association National Pension Fund, et
al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Carvana Company, et al.,
Respondents.
No. CV-22-02126-PHX-MTL
REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL
JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE PURSUANT
TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION OF
18 MARCH 1970 ON THE TAKING OF
EVIDENCE ABROAD IN CIVIL OR
COMMERCIAL MATTERS
TO THE SENIOR MASTER OF THE KING’S BENCH DIVISION OF THE HIGH
COURT OF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND AND WALES:
The United States District Court for the District of Arizona respectfully requests
judicial assistance pursuant to the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970 on the Taking of
Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters (the “Hague Evidence Convention”), to
which both the United States and the United Kingdom are parties, to obtain documentary
evidence and oral testimony to be used at the trial of pending civil proceeding before this
Court in the above-captioned matter. The United States District Court for the District of
Arizona is a competent court of law and equity which properly has jurisdiction over this
proceeding and has the power to compel the production of documents and the attendance
of witnesses both within and outside its jurisdiction.
This Court respectfully asks that this Letter of Request be executed, and that
Defendants be permitted to obtain documentary evidence sought from Pelham Capital Ltd.
(“Pelham”) and oral testimony from Kavyan Larizadeh, an employee of Pelham.

This Court considers that the evidence sought herein is directly relevant to the issues
in dispute for determination at trial, is evidence intended for use at trial, and without which
the ends of justice could not be properly met. This Court also believes that this evidence is
available to Pelham and Mr. Larizadeh and not available from any other source. This
request is made with the understanding that it will in no way require any person to commit
any offense, or to undergo a broader form of inquiry than he or she would if the litigation
were conducted in England and Wales. In the proper exercise of its authority, this Court
has determined that the documentary evidence and oral testimony are highly relevant to the
determination of these proceedings and cannot be secured except by the intervention of the
Senior Master of the King’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice of England and
Wales.

7. Nature of the proceedings:
This is a putative class action lawsuit in which Lead Plaintiffs UANPF and SHEPP
(“Plaintiffs”) allege that Carvana, a U.S. publicly-traded online used-car retailer, and other
Carvana Defendants, who are officers and directors of Carvana, made materially
misleading statements and omissions in violation of U.S. federal securities laws.
Specifically, Plaintiffs allege Carvana Defendants concealed from investors that Carvana
was systematically violating laws governing vehicle title and registration requirements, a
practice which was allegedly driving Carvana’s retail sales, and also concealed that other

business practices—including certain car-buying practices, nationwide expansion, and
related-party transactions—were driving Carvana’s growth. Plaintiffs seek to represent
individuals and entities who purchased Carvana’s common stock between May 6, 2020 and
October 7, 2022 and were damaged by the purported misleading statements and omissions.
Plaintiffs also seek to represent individuals and entities who received Carvana stock
directly through Carvana’s April 22, 2022 secondary offering (the “Offering”). Plaintiffs
assert claims individually and on behalf of class members pursuant to Section 10(b) and
Section 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §§78j(b) and 78t(a)),
and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. §§77k, 77l(a)(2),
and 77o) (“Securities Act claims”). Plaintiffs bring this action to recover damages caused
by the Defendants’ alleged wrongdoings. Defendants dispute the allegations and intend to
argue at trial, among other things, that: any allegedly omitted information was already
public and indeed known by many of the investors comprising the putative class, including
Pelham.
Pelham is one of thirty-four non-Carvana-affiliated investors (“allocants”) who
received stock directly in the Offering. As such, Pelham is a putative class member for
Plaintiffs’ Securities Act claims, meaning, if the class is certified and Pelham does not opt
out, that Pelham will technically be a party to the litigation and certain aspects of Carvana
Defendants’ liability to Pelham and other putative class members will be determined at
trial. To Carvana Defendants’ knowledge, Mr. Kavyan Larizadeh was the primary contact
at Pelham with respect to Pelham’s decision to participate in the Offering. An investor’s
absence of knowledge of the allegedly omitted information is an element of Plaintiffs’
Securities Act claim under Section 12(a)(2), 15 U.S.C. § 77l(a)(2), and such knowledge is
an affirmative defense to Plaintiffs’ Section 11 claim,15 U.S.C. § 77k(a). Accordingly,
Pelham’s actual knowledge of the allegedly omitted information is a dispositive issue as to
their Securities Act claims that Carvana Defendants will test at trial, and Pelham and Mr.
Larizadeh’s diligence prior to participating in the Offering, including what documents and
sources they reviewed, and what information was material to their decision, is also relevant

to matters to be determined at trial.
Further, Pelham and Mr. Larizadeh’s knowledge regarding the allegedly omitted
information, bases for Pelham’s participation in the Offering, and what sources they
consulted, are also relevant to whether class-wide claims may be decided at trial at all. In
this action, the U.S. court may certify a class for Plaintiffs’ Securities Act claims only if it
determines that common questions predominate over individual inquiries. Because investor
knowledge of the allegedly-omitted information defeats the Securities Act claims, if
individual inquiries into investor knowledge are necessary, they foreclose a finding of
predominance and preclude class certification. See Vignola v. Fat Brands, 2020 WL
1934976, at *5 (C.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2020); In re Kosmos Energy Ltd. Sec. Litig., 299 F.R.D.
133, 152-54 (N.D. Tex. 2014). Accordingly, investor knowledge—including LGIM’s
knowledge—is determinative of what claims may be adjudicated at trial.
Pelham’s transactions in Carvana securities (including its common stock) in the
relevant period in and around the 2022 Offering, including any gains or losses on such
purchases, are relevant to the determination of the quantum of damages Pelham may
receive. See 15 U.S.C. § 77k(e) (setting forth a statutory formula for calculation of damages
for Securities Act claims that takes into account, among other things, “the price at which
such security shall have been disposed of in the market before [the] suit” was brought).
Pelham’s transactions in Carvana stock are also relevant to other defenses Carvana
Defendants may assert to Pelham’s Securities Act claims at trial, including that the claims
are barred, in whole or in part, because Pelham did not lose money or property that is
traceable to any wrongful act by any Carvana Defendant and/or traceable to stock
purchased in Carvana’s April 2022 Offering, and any of Pelham’s alleged injuries,
damages, or losses were caused by acts of third parties or superseding and intervening
events unconnected to and outside the control of the Carvana Defendants.
8. Evidence to be obtained:
a. Evidence to be obtained or other judicial act to be performed:
Carvana Defendants seek documentary evidence from Pelham, and oral evidence

from Kavyan Larizadeh concerning Pelham’s diligence and decision to participate in the
Offering, and Pelham’s transactions in Carvana securities in the relevant period around the
2022 Offering. In particular, Pelham and, to Carvana Defendants’ knowledge, Mr.
Larizadeh, researched and considered information in connection with Pelham’s decision to
participate in the Offering. And Pelham’s transactions in Carvana securities are
information uniquely in Pelham’s possession that are directly relevant to the trial
determination of any damages for Pelham’s Securities Act claims. As such, Pelham and
Mr. Larizadeh possess evidence that is relevant and material to the outcome of Plaintiffs’
claims for the reasons given in Section 7 above. Carvana Defendants have attempted to
request the documents and information they now seek directly from Pelham but were
unsuccessful.
In particular, Carvana seeks production of the documents described in the attached
Schedule B below. Each of the categories of documents described in Schedule B is directly
relevant to the dispute before this Court. Carvana also seeks oral testimony from Mr.
Larizadeh in accordance with the examination topics described in the attached Schedule A
below. Each of the examination topics described in Schedule A is directly relevant to the
dispute before this Court.
b. Purpose of the evidence of judicial act sought:
Each of the examination topics described in Schedule A and each of the categories
of documents described in Schedule B are directly relevant to the claims Plaintiffs assert
against Carvana Defendants in this litigation and to Carvana Defendants’ responses and
defenses to those claims. Accordingly, the evidence Carvana Defendants seek is needed to
evaluate the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims and to defend against them at trial. Further, the
evidence sought is or is likely to be, in the possession, custody, or power of Pelham, and
known by Mr. Larizadeh. Carvana Defendants have been unable to obtain the requested
evidence from other sources, notwithstanding its efforts. The Court considers that it is
necessary for the purposes of justice and the determination of the matters in dispute that
the deposition testimony set out at Schedule A and the documents described at Schedule B
