Question presented

Whether this Court should decide an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by this Court, with regard to the applicable burden on a moving-party seeking to quash the subpoena of a non-party witness under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3). Whether, under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45, the court where subpoena compliance is required must weigh and/or defer to the opinion of the court where the action is pending in ruling on a motion to quash the subpoena of a non-party witness.
