A:
For a written deposition subpoena that does not require an appearance, such as obtaining answers to interrogatories from a non-party, you generally do not need a motion for a court order if you follow the proper procedures. The Subp-010 form, which is a "Deposition Subpoena for Production of Business Records," is relevant when you want to obtain documents or other records from a non-party, not necessarily just answers to interrogatories. Ensure that you correctly complete and serve this form according to the rules set by California law.
Using a registered photocopy service is often recommended for handling the service of subpoenas, especially if the subpoena involves obtaining records from a business or organization. While it's not always a strict requirement to use such a service, doing so can help ensure proper service and compliance with legal rules. You should check local rules or court websites to find a list of registered photocopy service providers.
If you're unsure about any of these steps, it's wise to consult the court's self-help resources or speak with someone familiar with California civil procedure. Proper service and documentation are crucial to avoid delays or issues in your case. Make sure to follow the local rules carefully to protect your legal rights.
