Order on Motion to Quash Suboenas 20 Jan 2012
Defendant, President Barack
Obama, a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination for the office of the
President of the United States , has filed a motion to quash the subpoena compelling
his attendance at the hearing on January 26, 2012 . In support of his motion, Defendant argues that
"if enforced, [the subpoena] requires him to interrupt duties as President
of the United
States "
to attend a hearing in Atlanta , Georgia . However, Defendant fails to provide any legal
authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend. Defendant's
motion suggests that no President should be compelled to attend a Court
hearing. This may be correct. But Defendant has failed to enlighten the Court with any legal authority.
Specifically, Defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing
why his attendance is "unreasonable or oppressive, or that the
testimony... [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a
party's preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness
dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced." Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(5).
Defendant further alludes to
a defect in service of the subpoena. However, the Court's rules provide for
service of a subpoena upon a party, by serving the party's counsel of record. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(4). Thus, the
argument regarding service is without merit.
Accordingly, Defendant's
motion to quash is denied.
SO ORDERED, this the 20th day of January, 2012.
MICHAEL M. MALIHI, Judge
I have hand delivered and
successfully served the subpoena for court appearance on Thursday, January 26th
to Secretary of State Brian Kemp in his office at the Georgia State Capitol on
this day January 23rd, 2012 at 3:56 pm in the presence of his General Counsel Vincent Russo and three
witnesses. A scanned copy is attached to
