3. Any non-party who has been served with a business records subpoena may bring a motion to quash. Note, however, that some case law holds that a non-party may simply serve written objections and is not required to bring a motion to quash. The discovery rules do not discriminate against nonparty deponents.
A motion to quash, by itself, does not stop the deposition. You will have to get the hearing advanced to a date before the deposition date.
A lawyer may file a motion to quash if a mistake has been made on the part of a court, or if an attorney believes that the issuance of some court document like a subpoena was not done in a legal manner. For example, a party that receives improper service of process may file a motion to quash.
Providing objections suspends your obligation to comply with the subpoena until or unless a court orders compliance, or you reach an agreement with the party that served you with the subpoena. If you do not wish to comply with the subpoena, you may file a motion to quash it before the date set forth on the subpoena.
Subpoena has not been issued correctly according to the law (technical grounds); subpoena is an abuse of process or oppressive (general objections); and. requested documents cannot be disclosed because of special rules that apply to the evidence (privilege).
A motion to quash must be based on valid grounds.If the court grants the motion, it may quash the subpoena entirely, modify it, or order that you comply with it on specified conditions. If the court denies the motion, you will usually have to comply with it as written.
After the motion to quash is filed, the court will review the case and make its determination. For example, if the judge grants a motion to quash service, then the service on the defendant would be considered void. A motion to quash that is approved would also invalidate any applicable decisions from a lower court.
A motion to quash a subpoena duces tecum should be filed within ten (10) days after receiving the subpoena or before the time stated for compliance if that time is fewer than ten days.
