LCvR45.1 Subpoenas to Nonparties to Produce Documents.

(a) Seven Days Advance Notice to Other Parties. The notice required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(a)(4), with the attached subpoena, shall be filed at least 7 days before the subpoena is served on the person to whom it is directed.

(b) Motion for Protective Order. Within 7 days from the filing of the notice provided in LCvR45.1(a), any party may file a motion to preclude service of the subpoena, in whole or in part, on any ground for which a protective order may be sought. If a motion under this rule is timely filed, the subpoena shall not be served on the person to whom it is directed until the motion is determined.

(c) Other Remedies Unaffected. Failure to file a motion under LCvR45.1(b) does not preclude any party or person from invoking other remedies, such as a subsequent motion for protective order or a motion to quash or to modify the subpoena under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d).
