If you are a party to the suit, yes. If you have been subpoenaed, then that is like a court order, you have two choices, comply or challenge the subpoena in court. One thing you cannot do is ignoring the subpoena-you will end up with a body attachment and will see yourself hauled into court by the sheriff and under arrest. I hope this helps-
