Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Subpoena Compliance
when one has been served with a subpoena for production of records/documents, and the served party is not a party to the litigation at all, what reasons can be given to avoid compliance w/o being in contempt of court, other than a simple ''we don't not have in our possession documents sought?''
can the party state that production of sought materials will be too burdensome to produce? any response is much appreciated and welcomed. if possible or applicable, please provide citations or code sections. thank you.

Re: Subpoena Compliance
You are entitled to be reimbursed for your reasonable ccosts of producing the documents. That would include research to find the records and to bring the records to gether. The cost of making copies would be added to the other costs.
Submit an estimated bill prior to commencing collecting the items requested.
