See Rule 45(c)(2)(A) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT The party or attorney serving the Subpoena has a duty to take reasonable steps to avoid imposing an undue burden or expense on you. The Superior Court enforces this duty and may impose sanctions upon the party or attorney serving the Subpoena if this duty is breached. See Rule 45(c)(1) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.

See Rule 45 (d)(2) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. If you object to the Subpoena in writing you do not need to comply with the Subpoena until a Court Orders you to do so. It will be up to the party or attorney serving the Subpoena to seek an Order from the Court to compel you to provide the documents or inspection requested, after providing notice to you.

See Rule 45 (c)(3)(A) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure If this Subpoena: (i) requires disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial trade information; or (ii) requires disclosure of an unretained expert's opinion or information not describing specific events or occurrences in dispute and resulting from the expert's study made not at the request of any party; or (iii) requires a person who is not a party or an officer of a party to incur substantial travel expense; The Court may either quash or modify the Subpoena, or the Court may Order you to appear or produce documents only upon specified conditions, if the party who served the Subpoena shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that can not otherwise be met without undue hardship and that assures that you will be reasonably compensated. See Rule 45 (c)(3)(B) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. A command to produce evidence or to permit inspection may be joined with a command to appear at trial or hearing or at deposition, or may be issued separately.
