In what circumstances will the Attorney General request a motion to quash or modify a subpoena issued before the date of the subpoena?

The Attorney General contends, however, that even if discovery is proper, the subpoenas duces tecum requested are so broad that had they issued, they would be subject to a motion to quash or modify in the superior court. Normally a motion to quash or modify should be made in the superior court after the subpoenas have issued. Since the entire case is now before us and the matter of the scope of the subpoenas has been fully briefed, no purpose but delay would be served by refusing to consider it. (See Hagan v. Superior Court, 53 Cal.2d 498, 502, 2 Cal.Rptr. 288, 348 P.2d 896, and cases cited.)
