How to Comply w/ Different Types of Subpoenas

Answered by: 
Randy Carey

Question: 
Every once in a while, we get a subpoena that looks a little different than the usual grand jury subpoena or the administrative subpoenas that we usually get, and I am asked whether, or not, we can comply. I know the RTFP act deals with the federal government. Is there a cheat sheet or a quick guidance to tell bankers how to comply with different types of subpoenas? Also, a place for rules on notifying the customer? The subpoena in question is a praecipe subpoena from the county prosecutor's office.
Answer: 

I doubt that you are going to find a uniform cheat cheat. These types of subpoenas are going to be governed under State and possibly local law. I would suggest that you get with your bank attorney and develop the appropriate procedures for each type of legal process that you might receive.
