The subpoenas purport to require production of documents at a place beyond the jurisdiction of the purported issuing courts to command such production. Future requests to the Clerk for action in this case must be made by way of motion so that the docket is complete. Defendant Sudyk is reminded of the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(b) requiring notice to all parties before service of any subpoena commanding production of documents. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 8/16/2010. (kpf1)
