Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Supoena- valid, failure to show consequences

I was served a ''deposition subpoena'' as a witness to a case. I didn't show. What are my rights and/or what should I do now?

Note Facts: I did not witness anything but my neighbor(defendant) thinks a large witness list helps his case. I was subpoenaed only 36 business hours prior to court time. I could not afford nor schedule time off from work on such short notice.
