United States First Circuit

In an action in which plaintiff alleged that defendant made false representations about the cashmere content of its yarns, the district court properly denied plaintiff's motion to enforce a subpoena served on Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufactures Institute (CCMI), a nonprofit corporation that offers confidential tests of the fiber content of cashmere samples to its members, as well as retailers and suppliers of cashmere and camel hair goods, where: 1) the discovery order was plainly not based on an incorrect legal standard or a misapplication of the law; and 2) the district court's factual findings, including that CCMI was a disinterested party to the Washington action, are also supported by the record.
