Rule 45, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Subdivisions (c), (d), and (e), as
amended on December 1, 2006:
(c) PROTECTION OF PERSONS SUBJECT TO SUBPOENAS.
(1) A party or an attorney responsible for the issuance and service of a
subpoena shall take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense
on a person subject to that subpoena. The court on behalf of which the subpoena
was issued shall enforce this duty and impose upon the party or attorney in breach
of this duty an appropriate sanction, which may include, but is not limited to, lost
earnings and a reasonable attorney's fee.
(2) (A) A person commanded to produce and permit inspection, copying,
testing, or sampling of designated electronically stored information, books, papers,
documents or tangible things, or inspection of premises need not appear in person
at the place of production or inspection unless commanded to appear for deposition,
hearing or trial.
(B) Subject to paragraph (d)(2) of this rule, a person commanded to produce
and permit inspection, copying, testing, or sampling may, within 14 days after
service of the subpoena or before the time specified for compliance if such time is
less than 14 days after service, serve upon the party or attorney designated in the
subpoena written objection to producing any or all of the designated materials or
inspection of the premises — or to producing electronically stored information in the
form or forms requested. If objection is made, the party serving the subpoena shall
not be entitled to inspect, copy, test, or sample the materials or inspect the
premises except pursuant to an order of the court by which the subpoena was
issued. If objection has been made, the party serving the subpoena may, upon
notice to the person commanded to produce, move at any time for an order to
compel the production, inspection, copying, testing, or sampling. Such an order to
compel shall protect any person who is not a party or an officer of a party from
significant expense resulting from the inspection, copying, testing, or sampling
commanded.
(3) (A) On timely motion, the court by which a subpoena was issued shall
quash or modify the subpoena if it
(i) fails to allow reasonable time for compliance;
(ii) requires a person who is not a party or an officer of a party to travel to a
place more than 100 miles from the place where that person resides, is employed or
regularly transacts business in person, except that, subject to the provisions of
clause ©(3)(B)(iii) of this rule, such a person may in order to attend trial be
commanded to travel from any such place within the state in which the trial is held;
(iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter and no
exception or waiver applies; or
(iv) subjects a person to undue burden.
(B) If a subpoena
(i) requires disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential research,
development, or commercial information, or
' (ii) requires disclosure of an unretained expert's opinion or information not
describing specific events or occurrences in dispute and resulting from the expert's
study made not at the request of any party, or
(iii) requires a person who is not a party or an officer of a party to incur
substantial expense to travel more than 100 miles to attend trial, the court may, to

2

protect a person subject to or affected by the subpoena, quash or modify
the subpoena or, if the party in whose behalf the subpoena is issued shows
a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise
met without undue hardship and assures that the person to whom the
subpoena is addressed will be reasonably compensated, the court may
order appearance or production only upon specified conditions.
(d) DUTIES IN RESPONDING TO SUBPOENA.
(1) (A) A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents shall
produce them as they are kept in the usual course of business or shall
organize and label them to correspond with the categories in the demand.
(B) If a subpoena does not specify the form or forms for producing
electronically stored information, a person responding to a subpoena must
produce the information in a form or forms in which the person ordinarily
maintains it or in a form or forms that are reasonably usable.
(C) A person responding to a subpoena need not produce the same
electronically stored information in more than one form.
(D) A person responding to a subpoena 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 to quash, the person from whom discovery is sought
must show that the information sought 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.
(2) (A) When information subject to a subpoena is withheld on a claim
that it is privileged or subject to protection as trial-preparation materials, the
claim shall be made expressly and shall be supported by a description of
the nature of the documents, communications, or things not produced that is
sufficient to enable the demanding party to contest the claim.
(B) If information is produced in response to a subpoena that is subject
to a claim of privilege or of protection as trial-preparation 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
and may not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved. A
receiving party may promptly present the information to the court under seal
for a determination of the claim. If the receiving party disclosed the
information before being notified, it must take reasonable steps to retrieve it.
The person who produced the information must preserve the information
until the claim is resolved.
(e) CONTEMPT.
Failure of any person without adequate excuse to obey a subpoena served
upon that person may be deemed a contempt of the court from which the
subpoena issued. An adequate cause for failure to obey exists when a
subpoena purports to require a nonparty to attend or produce at a place not
within the limits provided by clause (ii) of subparagraph (c)(3)(A).
