Legal Question in Business Law in District of Columbia

Re: supeona boundaries

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 45(b)(2) provides that "a subpoena may be served at any place within the district of the court by which it is issued, or at any place without the district that is within 100 miles of the place of the deposition, hearing, trial, production, or inspection specified in the subpoena or at any place within the state where a state statute or rule of court permits service of a subpoena issued by a state court of general jurisdiction sitting in the place of the deposition, hearing, trial, production, or inspection specified in the subpoena. When a statute of the United States provides therefor, the court upon proper application and cause shown may authorize the service of a subpoena at any other place. "

Since your trial is in DC, the subpoena can be served anywhere within 100 miles of the DC federal courthouse (unless there is a specific provision in the relevant law for national service - unlikely in private civil cases).
