YOUR DUTIES IN RESPONDING TO THIS CIVIL SUBPOENA*
*See Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure (A.R.C.P.), Rules 45(b), (c), and (e), and the "Your
Right to Object to this Subpoena" section below.
ATTENDANCE AT A TRIAL: If this subpoena commands you to appear at a trial, you must
appear at the place, date and time designated in the subpoena unless you file a timely motion with
the court and the court quashes or modifies the subpoena. Unless a court orders otherwise, you
are required to travel to any part of the state to attend and give testimony at a trial.
ATTENDANCE AT A HEARING OR DEPOSITION: If this subpoena commands you to
appear at a hearing or deposition, you must appear at the place, date and time designated in this
subpoena unless either:
(1) you file a timely motion with the court and the court quashes or modifies the subpoena; or
(2) you are not a party or a party's officer and this subpoena commands you to travel to a place
other than:
10
(a) the county where you reside or you transact business in person; or
11
(b) the county in which you were served with the subpoena or within forty (40) miles from
12 the place of service; or
13 (c) such other convenient place fixed by a court order
14) PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE: If this subpoena commands you to
produce and permit inspection, copying, testing or sampling of designated documents,
15 electronically stored information, or tangible things, you must make the items available at the
place, date and time designated in this subpoena, and in the case of electronically stored
16 information, in the form or forms requested, unless you provide a good faith written objection to
the party or attorney who served the subpoena.
17
You may object to the production of electronically stored information from sources that you
identify as not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or expense, including sources that
18
are unduly burdensome or expensive to access because of the past good-faith operation of an
electronic information system or good faith or consistent application of a document retention
19 policy. See "Your Right to Object to This Subpoena” section below.
20) If this subpoena does not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, you may
produce it in native form or in another reasonably usable form that will enable the receiving party
21 to have the same ability to access, search, and display information as the responding person, but
you need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form.
22)
If the subpoena commands you to produce documents, you have the duty to produce the
23 designated documents as they are kept by you in the usual course of business, or you may organize

party or attorney who served the subpoena.

materials, or to permit the inspection of premises, may be combined with a command to appear at
a trial, hearing or deposition. You do not, however, need to appear in person at the place of

testimony at a hearing, trial, or deposition.

contact the party or attorney who served the subpoena. The party or attorney serving the

10 must pay your reasonable expenses incurred in responding to a subpoena seeking the
production of documents, electronically stored information, tangible things, or an inspection
11 of premises.
12) © If you seek payment of expenses other than routine clerical and per-page costs as
allowed by A.R.S. § 12-351, you must object on the grounds of undue burden to
13 producing the materials without the subpoenaing party's payment, and send an
advanced estimate of those expenses to the subpoenaing party before the time specified
14 for compliance or within 14 days after the subpoena is served, whichever is earlier.
15 You-need not comply with those parts of the subpoena that are the subject of the
objection, unless the court. orders. you to-do so. The court may enter an order
16 conditioning your response to the subpoena on payment of your additional expenses,
including ordering payment of those expense in advance.

a. the county in which you reside or transact business in person;
b the county in which you were served with a subpoena, or within forty
(40) miles from the place of service; or
10 C. such other convenient place fixed by a court order; or
11 G) the subpoena requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if

14
(1) the subpoena requires you to disclose a trade secret or other confidential
15 research, development or commercial information;
16 Q) you are an unretained expert and the subpoeia requires you to disclose your
opinion or information resulting from your study that you have not been
17 requested by any party to give on matters that are specific to the dispute;
18) @) you are not a party or a party's officer and the subpoena would require you

6
146822127.1
1 IV. PROCEDURE FOR OBJECTING to subpoena for production of documentary evidence:
2 A If you wish to object to a subpoena commanding you to produce documents,
electronically stored information or tangible items, or to permit the inspection of

4

or from sources that are not reasonably accessible because of undue burden
or expense, the good faith routine operation of an electronic information

ll parties to the action.
12) If you seek payment of expenses other than routine clerical and per page copying
costs as allowed by A.R.S. § 12-351, you must object on the grounds of undue

15 subpoena before the time specified for compliance or within 14 days after the
subpoena is served, whichever is earlier.
16
If you object because you claim the information requested is privileged, protected,
17 or subject to protection as trial preparation material, you must express the objection
clearly, and identify in writing the information, document, or electronically stored
18 information withheld and describe the nature of that information, document, or
electronically stored information in a matter that — without revealing information
19 that is itself privileged or protected — will enable the demanding party to access the
claim.
20
You may object to providing the information required by Rule 26(b)(6)(A) if
21 providing the information would impose an undue burden or expense.
22 If you object to the subpoena in writing, you do not need to comply with the
subpoena until a court orders you to do so. It will be up to the party or attomey
23 serving the subpoena to first personally consult with you and engage in good faith
efforts to resolve your objection and, if the objection cannot be resolved, to seek an
24 order from the court to compel you to provide the documents or inspection
requested, after providing notice to you.
25
116822127.1

subpoena, you also have the option of raising your objections in a motion to quash
or modify the subpoena, or through a protective order. See Rule 45(c)(6)(B) and
(e)(2) of the Arizona Rules for Civil Procedure. The procedure and grounds for
doing so are described in the section above entitled "Procedure for Objecting to a
Subpoena for Attendance at a Hearing, Trial or Deposition.
If the subpoena also commands your attendance at a hearing, trial or deposition,
sending a written objection to the party or.attorney who served the subpoena does
not suspend or modify your obligation to attend and give testimony at the date, time
and place specified in the subpoena. See Rule 45(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Arizona Rules
of Civil Procedure.
ay If you wish to object to the portion of this subpoena requiring your attendance
10) at a hearing, trial or deposition, you must file a motion to quash or modify
the subpoena as ‘described in the section above entitled "Procedure for
11 Objecting to a Subpoena for Attendance at a Hearing, Trial or Deposition.”
