enforce this subdivision and impose upon the party or attorney in violation of this
requirement an appropriate sanction that may include compensating the person

medical records, as defined in G.S. 8-44 .1, to appear for the sole purpose of
producing certain records in the custodi an’s custody, the custodian subpoenaed may,
in lieu of personal appearance, tender to the court in which the action is pending by
registered or certified mail or by personal delivery, on or before the time specified in
the subpoena, certified copies of the record s requested together with a copy of the
subpoena and an affidavit by the custodian testifying that the copies are true and
correct copies and that the records were made and kept in the regular course of
business, or if no such records are in t he custodian’s custody, an affidavit to that
effect. When the copies of records are per sonally delivered under this subdivision, a
receipt shall be obtained from the person receiving the records. Any original or
certified copy of records or an affidavit de livered according to the provisions of this
subdivision, unless otherwise objectionable, shall be admissible in any action or
proceeding without further certification or au thentication. Copies of hospital medical

any person, except to the parties to the case or proceedings and their attorneys in
depositions, until ordered published by the judge at the time of the hearing or trial.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to waive the physician-patient privilege or
to require any privileged communication under law to be disclosed.
(3) Written objection to subpoena. - Subject to subsection (d) of this rule, a person
commanded to appear at a deposition or to produce and permit the inspection and
copying of records, books, papers, documents, electronically stored information, or
tangible things may, within 10 days after service of the subpoena or before the time
specified for compliance if the time is less than 10 days after service, serve upon the
party or the attorney designated in the subpoena written objection to the subpoena,
setting forth the specific grounds for the objection. The written objection shall comply
with the requirements of Rule 11 [of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure]. Each
of the following grounds may be sufficient for objecting to a subpoena:

b. The subpoena requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter and
no exception or waiver applies to the privilege or protection.
c. The subpoena subjec ts a person to an undue burden or expense.
d. The subpoena is otherwise unreasonable or oppressive.
e. The subpoena is procedurally defective.
(4) Order of court required to override objection. - If objection is made under
subdivision (3) of this subsection, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled
to compel the subpoenaed person’s appearance at a deposition or to inspect and copy
materials to which an objection has been made except pursuant to an order of the
court. If objection is made, the party se rving the subpoena may, upon notice to the
subpoenaed person, move at any time for an order to compel the subpoenaed
person’s appearance at the deposition or the production of the materials designated in

trial, hearing, deposition, or to produce and permit the inspection and copying of

h or modify the subpoena. The court shall

filed in the court in the county in which the trial, hearing, deposition, or production of
materials is to occur.
(6) Order to compel; expenses to comply with subpoena. - When a court enters an
order compelling a deposition or the production of records, books, papers, documents,
electronically stored information, or other tangible things, the order shall protect any
person who is not a party or an agent of a party from significant expense resulting
from complying with the subpoena. The cour t may order that the person to whom the
subpoena is addressed will be reasonably com pensated for the cost of producing the
records, books, papers, documents, elec tronically stored information, or tangible
things specified in the subpoena.
(7) Trade secrets; confidential informati on. - When a subpoena requires disclosure
of a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial
information, a court may, to protect a pers on subject to or affected by the subpoena,
quash or modify the subpoena, or when the party on whose behalf the subpoena is
issued shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot otherwise be
met without undue hardship, the court may order a person to make an appearance or
produce the materials only on specified conditions stated in the order.
(8) Order to quash; expenses. - When a court enters an order quashing or
modifying the subpoena, the court may or der the party on whose behalf the subpoena
is issued to pay all or part of the subpoenaed person’s reasonable expenses including
attorney’s fees.
(d) Duties in Responding to Subpoena
(1) Form of response. - A person resp onding to a subpoena to produce records,
books, documents, electronically stored info rmation, or tangible things shall produce
them as they are kept in the usual course of business or shall organize and label them
to correspond with the categories in the request.
(2) Form of producing electronically stor ed information not specified. - If a
subpoena does not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, the
person responding must produce it in a form or forms in which it ordinarily is
maintained or in a reasonably useable form or forms.
(3) Electronically stored information in only one form. - The person responding
need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form. (4) Inaccessible electronically stored in formation. - The person responding need
not provide discovery of electronically stored information from sources that the person
identifies as not reasonably accessible becau se of undue burden or cost. On motion to
compel discovery or for a protective order, the person responding must show that the
information is not reasonably accessible be cause of undue burden or cost. If that
showing is made, the court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if the
requesting party shows good cause, after considering the limitations of Rule 26(b)(1a)
[of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure]. The court may specify conditions for
discovery, including requiring the party that seeks discovery from a nonparty to bear
the costs of locating, preserving, collecting, and producing the electronically stored
information involved.
(5) Specificity of objection. - When inform ation subject to a subpoena is withheld
on the objection that it is subject to protection as trial preparation materials, or that it is
otherwise privileged, the objection shall be made with specificity and shall be
supported by a description of the nature of the communications, records, books,
papers, documents, electronically stored information, or other tangible things not
produced, sufficient for the requesting party to contest the objection.
