In a Civil Case, the Clerk must not issue blank subpoenas to a pro se party except upon
order of the judge to whom the case is assigned.
Note on Use
Under Civil Local Rule 45.1, a pro se litigant may move the Court, either orally or in writing, to
issue a subpoena for specific witnesses or documents. The pro se litigant must present the Court
orally or in writing with a statement of what relevant information the documents contain or the
person to be subpoenaed possesses.
