`
`(c) Place of Compliance.
`(1) For a Trial, Hearing, or Deposition. A subpoena may command a
`person to attend a trial, hearing, or deposition only as follows:
` (A) within 100 miles of where the person resides, is employed, or
`regularly transacts business in person; or
` (B) within the state where the person resides, is employed, or
`regularly transacts business in person, if the person
` (i) is a party or a party’s officer; or
` (ii) is commanded to attend a trial and would not incur substantial
`expense.
`(2) For Other Discovery. A subpoena may command:
`(A) production of documents, electronically stored information, or
`tangible things at a place within 100 miles of where the person
`resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person; and
`(B) inspection of premises at the premises to be inspected.
`(d) Protecting a Person Subject to a Subpoena; Enforcement.
`(1) Avoiding Undue Burden or Expense; Sanctions. A party or
`attorney responsible for issuing and serving a subpoena must take
`reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense on a
`person subject to the subpoena. The court for the district where
`compliance is required must enforce this duty and impose an
`appropriate sanction—which may include lost earnings and reasonable
`attorney’s fees—on a party or attorney who fails to comply.
`(2) Command to Produce Materials or Permit Inspection.
`(A) Appearance Not Required. A person commanded to produce
`documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to
`permit the inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the
`place of production or inspection unless also commanded to appear
`for a deposition, hearing, or trial.
`(B) Objections. A person commanded to produce documents or
`tangible things or to permit inspection may serve on the party or
`attorney designated in the subpoena a written objection to inspecting,
`copying, testing, or sampling any or all of the materials or to
`inspecting
`the premises—or
`to producing electronically stored
`information in the form or forms requested. The objection must be
`served before the earlier of the time specified for compliance or 14
`days after the subpoena is served. If an objection is made, the
`following rules apply:
` (i) At any time, on notice to the commanded person, the serving
`party may move the court for the district where compliance is required
`for an order compelling production or inspection.
` (ii) These acts may be required only as directed in the order, and
`the order must protect a person who is neither a party nor a party’s
`officer from significant expense resulting from compliance.
`(3) Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena.
`(A) When Required. On timely motion, the court for the district
`where
`compliance is required must quash or modify a subpoena that:
` (i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply;
` (ii) requires a person to comply beyond the geographical limits
`specified in Rule 45(c);
` (iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if
`no exception or waiver applies; or
` (iv) subjects a person to undue burden.
`(B) When Permitted. To protect a person subject to or affected by a
`subpoena, the court for the district where compliance is required may,
`on motion, quash or modify the subpoena if it requires:
` (i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research,
`development, or commercial information; or
`
` (ii) disclosing an unretained expert’s opinion or information that
`does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the
`expert’s study that was not requested by a party.
`(C) Specifying Conditions as an Alternative. In the circumstances
`described in Rule 45(d)(3)(B), the court may, instead of quashing or
`modifying a subpoena, order appearance or production under specified
`conditions if the serving party:
` (i) shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that
`cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship; and
` (ii) ensures that the subpoenaed person will be reasonably
`compensated.
`(e) Duties in Responding to a Subpoena.
`(1) Producing Documents or Electronically Stored Information.
`These procedures apply to producing documents or electronically
`stored information:
`(A) Documents. A person responding to a subpoena to produce
`documents must produce them as they are kept in the ordinary course
`of business or must organize and label them to correspond to the
`categories in the demand.
`(B) Form for Producing Electronically Stored Information Not
`Specified. If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing
`electronically stored information, the person responding must produce
`it in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a
`reasonably usable form or forms.
`(C) Electronically Stored Information Produced in Only One Form.
`The person responding need not produce the same electronically
`stored information in more than one form.
`(D) Inaccessible Electronically Stored Information. The person
`responding 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 for a protective order, the person responding must show
`that the information 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) Claiming Privilege or Protection.
`(A)
`Information Withheld. A person withholding subpoenaed
`information under a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection
`as trial-preparation material must:
` (i) expressly make the claim; and
`(ii) describe the nature of the withheld documents, communications,
`or tangible things in a manner that, without revealing information
`itself privileged or protected, will enable the parties to assess the
`claim.
`(B) Information Produced. If information produced in response to a
`subpoena 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; must not use
`or disclose the information until the claim is resolved; must take
`reasonable steps to retrieve the information if the party disclosed it
`before being notified; and may promptly present the information
`under seal to the court for the district where compliance is required for
`a determination of the claim. The person who produced the
`information must preserve the information until the claim is resolved.
`(g) Contempt.
`The court for the district where compliance is required—and also,
`after a motion is transferred, the issuing court—may hold in contempt
`a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to
`obey the subpoena or an order related to it.
