MISHLER, District Judge.
Plaintiff, Rockaway Pix Theatre, Inc., moves pursuant to Rule 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for an order requiring defendants to produce, and permit the inspection and copying of, certain specified documents.
Rule 34, unlike other discovery procedures, requires the party seeking inspection to show “good cause therefor”. And the party seeking discovery, although not having a formal burden of persuasion, must go forward and establish that “good cause” is extant. Hickman v. Taylor, 1945, 3d Cir., 153 F.2d 212, aff’d, 1947, 329 U.S. 495, 67 S.Ct. 385, 91 L.Ed.…
