PROTECTION OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO SUBPOENAS A party or an attorney responsible for the issuance and service of a subpoena shall take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense on a person subject to that subpoena. The court on behalf of which the subpoena was issued shall enforce this duty and impose upon the party or attorney in breach of this duty an appropriate sanction, which may include, but is not limited to, lost earnings and a reasonable attorney's fee. A person commanded to produce and permit inspection and copying of designated books, papers, documents or tangible things, or inspection of premises need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless commanded to appear for deposition, hearing or trial. Subject to Subparagraph (2) of Paragraph D below, a person commanded to produce and permit inspection and copying may, within fourteen (14) days after service of the subpoena or before the time specified for compliance if such time is less than fourteen (14) days after service, serve upon the party or attorney designated in the subpoena written objection to inspection or copying of any or all of the designated materials or of the premises or within fourteen (14) days after service of the subpoena may file a motion to quash the subpoena and serve the motion on all parties to the action. If an objection is served or a motion to quash is filed and served on the parties, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled to inspect and copy the materials or inspect the premises except pursuant to an order of the court by which the subpoena was issued. If objection has been made, the party serving the subpoena may, upon notice to the person commanded to produce, move at any time for an order to compel the production. Such an order to compel production shall protect any person who is not a party or an officer of a party from significant expense resulting from the inspection and copying commanded. On timely motion, the court by which a subpoena was issued shall quash or modify the subpoena if it: (1)fails to allow reasonable time for compliance,(2)requires a person who is not a party or an officer of a party to travel to a place more than one hundred miles from the place wherethat person resides, is employed or regularly transacts business in person, except as provided below, such a person may in order toattend trial be commanded to travel from any such place within the state in which the trial is held, or(3)requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter and no exception or waiver applies, or(4)subjects a person to undue burden. If a subpoena: (1)requires disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information, or(2)requires disclosure of an unretained expert's opinion or information not describing specific events or occurrences in dispute and resulting from the expert's study made not at the request of any party, or(3)requires a person who is not a party or an officer of a party to incur substantial expense to travel, the court may, to protect a person subject to or affected by the subpoena, quash or modify the subpoena or, if the party in whose behalf the subpoena is issued shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship and assures that the person to whom the subpoena is addressed will be reasonably compensated, the court may order appearance or production only upon specified conditions. DUTIES IN RESPONDING TO SUBPOENA (1)A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents shall produce them as they are kept in the usual course of business orshall organize and label them to correspond with the categories in the demand.(2)When information subject to a subpoena is withheld on a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as trial preparation materials, the claim shall be made expressly and shall be supported by a description of the nature of the documents, communications,or things not produced that is sufficient to enable the demanding party to contest the claim.(3)A person commanded to produce documents or material or to permit the inspection of premises shall not produce the documents or materials or permit the inspection of the premises if a written objection is served or a motion to quash has been filed with the courtuntil a court order requires their production or inspection.[As amended, effective November 1, 2002; as amended by Supreme Court Order No. 08-8300-002, effective March 15, 2008; bySupreme Court Order No. 09-8300-030, effective October 12, 2009.] American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com
