How have the courts treated a Rule 17(b) request for a court-ordered subpoena?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Nichols, 534 F.2d 202 (9th Cir. 1976):
Even assuming that counsel's request should also be treated as a Rule 17(b) request for a court-ordered subpoena, the court could scarcely have granted it since there was no indication who should be subpoenaed. There was no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Greene, 497 F.2d 1068, 1079 (7th Cir. 1974); Wagner v. United States, 416 F.2d 558, 563-65 (9th Cir. 1969).
