An attorney can issue a subpoena without a court file being opened, but if the clerk issues a blank subpoena, a court file must be opened and will collect a $50 fee. Rule 1.1702(5). A court file will also be opened for any motions relating to the subpoena and the clerk will collect a $50 fee then as well.
Rule 1.509(2) adds to the permissible scope of interrogatories the amounts claimed for items of damages approved by the court in Gordon v. Noel, 356 N.W. 2d 559 (Iowa 1984), and the addresses of trial witnesses.
In addition, rule 1.943 allows for voluntary dismissal of the plaintiff's petition without prejudice once as a matter of right. Id. r. 1.943.
