A Subpoena Duces Tecum (meaning 'subpoena for production of evidence') is a court order requiring the person subpoenaed to produce books, documents or other records under his or her control at a specified time/place in a court hearing or a deposition.
A subpoena is an Order that is issued to require the attendance of a witness to testify at a particular time and place. A subpoena duces tecum is an Order that requires a witness to bring documents, books or other items under his, her or their control, that he she or they is bound by law to produce into evidence.
Under HIPAA, any subpoena duces tecum that is not accompanied by a court order must contain a written statement and accompanying documentation demonstrating that the requesting party made reasonable efforts to (1) notify the patient whose records are being requested, or (2) secure a qualified protective order.
For a subpoena duces tecum in a criminal action, the response must be provided five (5) days after receipt of the subpoena or within the time agreed upon by the party serving the subpoena and the custodian of records or witness.
Whether you've received a subpoena to appear as a witness or a subpoena duces tecum, it's never a good idea to simply ignore the subpoena. If you ignore a subpoena, a judge could hold you in criminal contempt and punish you accordingly.The judge can impose fines or order the person jailed for up to six months.
