Legal Question in Family Law in California
Subpoena for business records
I have received a package of documents (Notice of Taking Deposition - Records Only - No Appearance; Notice to Consumer or Employee and Objection; Proof of Service of Notice to Consumer or Employee and Objection; Deposition Subpoena for Production of Business Records; Proof of Service of Deposition Subpoena for Production of Business Records; Affidavit of Custodian of Records; Interrogatories to Custodian of Records...with Exhibits).
Within these documents I see signatures of only the Requesting Party and the Person who Served; there are no Court-affiliated signatures or stamps on these documents. Finally, the document entitled Proof of Service of Deposition Subpoena for Production of Business Records has no signature.
So, while I would like to assist the Requesting Party, I would not like to produce otherwise confidential information inappropriately. Does the Requesting Party have the right to demand information without a Court-affiliated directive/signature? And can I properly (ie, without liability) submit information when the Proof of Service document to me is without signature?
Thank you!

It is not supposed to be signed. You should comply. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

In a general sense, a proof of service must be signed to be valid.
I suggest that you consult with your legal counsel as to your responsibilities in properly responding to the legal documents in question
Good luck to you!
