Friend's lawyer appealed to quash the subpoena against me and obtain protection order
Judge said "The petitioner motion to quash respondent's records subpoens issued to independent witness,XYZ is granted in part and denied in part.The Respondentmay issue a records subpoena to a party requesting documents relevant to allegations contained in a Petition.Therefore, a request to quash the entire records subpoena is denied.
However it appears from the record providedto courtthat theRespondent did not request the documents/information deemed essential or necessary from the petitionerherself, who appears may be in posession of the information sought,thus questioning the motivation of the issuance of subpoena.None the less,the Respondent would be entitled to obtain copies of any conversations,in written or electronic form, between the Petitioned andwitnessrelativeto24hrpriorandsubsequentofdate.Respondent'ssubpoenashall be amended on its face accordingly.What to do?
