What is the Federal Rule 31?

Depositions Upon Written Questions. (a) Serving Questions; Notice. (1) A party may take the testimony of any person, including a party, by deposition upon written questions without leave of court except as provided in paragraph (2).

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) 30(b)(6) governs the depositions of organizations, including corporations, partnerships, associations, and governmental agencies. The party seeking to depose the organization must “describe with reasonable particularity the matters for examination” in its deposition notice.

(1) Any deposition may be used by any party for the purpose of contradicting or impeaching the testimony of deponent as a witness, or for any other purpose permitted by the Federal Rules of Evidence.

(Rule 30(b)(2).) In other words, if you wish to compel the party deponent to bring documents, the deposition cannot be noticed to occur for at least 30 days. The Northern District local rules require conferring with opposing counsel before sending out a notice of a party.

A subpoena is a court order that requires a party (or a witness who is not a party) to come to court to testify. It can also require the person to bring certain papers to the court hearing or trial. You may subpoena the other party or a non-party witness to the hearing if: He or she is a California resident.

Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a deposition is limited to 1 day of 7 hours. The court must allow additional time consistent with Rule 26(b)(1) and (2) if needed to fairly examine the deponent or if the deponent, another person, or any other circumstance impedes or delays the examination.

People who have been subpoenaed in Colorado state court can file a motion with the court to quash or modify the subpoena request.

A subpoena duces tecum is an Order that requires a witness to bring documents, books or other items under his, her or their control, that he she or they is bound by law to produce into evidence.
