The national Civil Subpoena form, AO-88, has been updated to reflect the electronic discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that took effect on December 1, 2006.
The text of subdivisions (c) and (d) of Fed. R. Civ. P. 45 (Subpoena) is set forth on the bottom of form AO-88 to inform a subpoena’s recipient of key provisions of the rule. The updated form substitutes the newly revised language of subdivisions (c) and (d), and it also adds the text of subdivision (e) (Sanctions) to alert the recipient to the potential consequences of non-compliance without adequate excuse.
