B2570 (Form 2570 - Subpoena to Produce Documents, Information, or Objects or To Permit Inspection in a Bankruptcy Case or Adversary Proceeding) (Page 2) 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(c), (d), (e), and (g) (Effective 12/1/13) 

(made applicable in bankruptcy cases by Rule 9016, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure) 

( c) Place of compliance. 

(JJ For a Trial, Hearing, or Deposition. A subpoena may command a 

person to attend a trial, hearing, or deposition only as follows: 

(A) within 100 miles of where the person resides, is employed, or 

regularly transacts business in person; or 

(B) within the state where the person resides, is employed, or regularly 

transacts business in person, if the person 

(i) is a party or a party's officer; or 

(ii) is commanded to attend a trial and would not incur substantial 

expense. 

(2JFor Other Discovery. A subpoena may command: 

(A) production of documents, or electronically stored information, or 

things at a place within 100 miles of where the person resides, is employed, 

or regularly transacts business in person; and 

(B) inspection of premises, at the premises to be inspected. 

(d) Protecting a Person Subject to a Subpoena; Enforcement. 

(IJ Avoiding Undue Burden or Expense; Sanctions. A party or 

attorney responsible for issuing and serving a subpoena must take 

reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense on a person 

subject to the subpoena. The court for the district where compliance is 

required must enforce this duty and impose an appropriate sanction 

which may include lost earnings and reasonable attorney's fees - on a 

party or attorney who fails to comply. 

(2J Command to Produce Materials or Permit Inspection. 

(AJ Appearance Not Required. A person commanded to produce 

documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to 

permit the inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the place of 

production or inspection unless also commanded to appear for a deposition, 

hearing, or trial. 

(BJ Objections. A person commanded to produce documents or tangible 

things or to permit inspection may serve on the party or attorney designated 

in the subpoena a written objection to inspecting, copying, testing or 

sampling any or all of the materials or to inspecting the premises - or to 

producing electronically stored information in the form or forms requested. 

The objection must be served before the earlier of the time specified for 

compliance or 14 days after the subpoena is served. If an objection is made, 

the following rules apply: 

(i) At any time, on notice to the commanded person, the serving party 

may move the court for the district where compliance is required for an 

order compelling production or inspection. 

(ii) These acts may be required only as directed in the order, and the 

order must protect a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer from 

significant expense resulting from compliance. 

(3J Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena. 

(AJ When Required. On timely motion, the court for the district where 

compliance is required must quash or modify a subpoena that: 

(i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply; 

(ii) requires a person to comply beyond the geographical limits 

specified in Rule 45( c ); 

(iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, ifno 

exception or waiver applies; or 

(iv) subjects a person to undue burden. 

(BJ When Permitted. To protect a person subject to or affected by a 

subpoena, the court for the district where compliance is required may, on 

motion, quash or modify the subpoena ifit requires: 

(i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research 

development, or commercial information; or ' 

(ii) disclosing an unretained expert's opinion or information that does 

not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert's 

study that was not requested by a party. 

(CJ Specifying Conditions as an Alternative. In the circumstances 

described in Rule 45(d)(3)(B), the court may, instead of quashing or 

modifying a subpoena, order appearance or production under specified 

conditions if the serving party: 

(i) shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot 

be otherwise met without undue hardship; and 

(ii) ensures that the subpoenaed person will be reasonably 

compensated. 

(e) Duties in Responding to a Subpoena. 

(IJ Producing Documents or Electronically Stored Information. These 

procedures apply to producing documents or electronically stored 

info1mation: 

(AJ Documents. A person responding to a subpoena to produce 

documents must produce them as they are kept in the ordinary course of 

business or must organize and label them to correspond to the categories in 

the demand. 

(BJ Form for Producing Electronically Stored Information Not 

Specified. If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing 

electronically stored information, the person responding must produce it in 

a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably 

usable form or forms. 

(CJ Electronically Stored Information Produced in Only One Form. The 

person responding need not produce the same electronically stored 

information in more than one form. 

(DJ Inaccessible Electronically Stored Information. The person 

responding need not provide discovery of electronically stored information 

from sources that the person identifies as not reasonably accessible because 

of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or for a protective 

order, the person responding must show that the information is not 

reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is 

made, the court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if the 

requesting party shows good cause, considering the limitations of Rule 

26(b)(2)(C). The court may specify conditions for the discovery. 

(2J Claiming Privilege or Protection. 

(AJ Information Withheld. A person withholding subpoenaed 

information under a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as 

trial-preparation material must: 

(i) expressly make the claim; and 

(ii) describe the nature of the withheld documents communications 

or tangible things in a manner that, without revealing information itself ' 

privileged or protected, will enable the parties to assess the claim. 

(BJlnformation Produced. If information produced in response to a 

subpoena is subject to a claim of privilege or of protection as trialpreparation material, the person making the claim may notify any party that 

received the information of the claim and the basis for it. After being 

notified, a party must promptly return, sequester, or destroy the specified 

information and any copies it has; must not use or disclose the information 

until the claim is resolved; must take reasonable steps to retrieve the 

information if the party disclosed it before being notified; and may 

promptly present the information under seal to the court for the district 

where compliance is required for a determination of the claim. The person 

who produced the information must preserve the information until the claim 

is resolved. 

(g) Contempt. The court for the district where compliance is required - and 

also, after a motion is transferred, the issuing court - may hold in contempt 

a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey 

the subpoena or an order related to it.
