November 26, 2019 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER. Before the Court is the plaintiff's #1 Motion to Compel compliance with a subpoena against non-parties Richard and Edson issued by the Northern District of Oklahoma in the underlying civil action. The plaintiff filed the motion here because the non-parties appear to be D.C. residents, and so compliance is required in this Court. See Dkt. 1. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45 governs such subpoenas. It provides that "[w]hen the court where compliance is required did not issue the subpoena, it may transfer a motion under this rule to the issuing court if the person subject to the subpoena consents or if the court finds exceptional circumstances." Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(f). The non-parties and the plaintiff consent to transferring this motion to the issuing court. See Dkts. 12, 13. The Court thus exercises its discretion under Rule 45(f) to transfer this motion to the Northern District of Oklahoma. The Clerk of Court is directed to transfer this miscellaneous matter to the Northern District of Oklahoma. So Ordered by Judge Dabney Friedrich on November 26, 2019. (lcdlf1) [Transferred from District of Columbia on 12/6/2019.]

November 22, 2019 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER. Both sides indicate in their briefing on the #1 Motion to Compel that they would not oppose transfer to the Northern District of Oklahoma. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(f) gives this Court discretion to transfer the Motion to the issuing court--here, the Northern District of Oklahoma--"if the person subject to the subpoena consents or if the court finds exceptional circumstances." It is not clear from the briefing whether either side, including the non-parties "subject to the subpoena," consent to transfer. As such, both sides shall notify the Court, on or before November 25, 2019, whether they consent to this Court transferring the #1 Motion to Compel to the Northern District of Oklahoma under Rule 45(f).
