Rule 34. Subpoenas

a. Alternative Form of Subpoena. Any subpoena requiring attendance at a criminal proceeding may, at the option of the requesting party, allow the person subpoenaed to hold himself available on a given date to appear at a specified place on 30-minutes' notice, if he can provide on the return of service a telephone number at which he can be reached during regular court hours on that date.

b. Multiple Subpoenas. A person served with two or more subpoenas requiring his simultaneous attendance in different courts shall honor them in order, first, of the issuing court (United States District Court, Superior Court, Justice of the Peace Court, and City Magistrate Court), and second, of the date of service. He shall immediately notify the party requesting a subpoena with a lower priority of his duty to honor another subpoena.

c. ADA Notification. The subpoena shall state that “Requests for reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities must be made to the court by parties at least 3 working days in advance of a scheduled court proceeding.”
