A:
To obtain only written responses from a non-party without requiring their appearance, you may use a different form than SUBP-010. The SUBP-010 is a civil subpoena for personal appearance, typically used when you need a non-party to appear and testify at a deposition or trial.
For written responses or production of documents from a non-party without needing their physical presence, you should consider using the **SUBP-002** form, which is a "Deposition Subpoena for Production of Business Records." This form allows you to request documents, records, or responses from a non-party without requiring them to appear in person.
Make sure to carefully fill out the form, specifying exactly what documents or information you need. Properly serve the subpoena on the non-party and provide the required notice to all involved parties. Always check the current rules and guidelines for serving subpoenas in California to ensure compliance.
