You need to get a lawyer.
I am not a lawyer, but I annoy them daily.
You can decide not to appear, but you can be held in contempt. Note that your subpoena comes from the court, not Meta.
You need to get the lawyer to negotiate down what to provide. The first salvo is always everything, including the kitchen sink.
You need a lawyer to know to whom to talk to. You need to get the lawyer to negotiate the expenses associated with this.
Read Rule 45 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_45 https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_45) much of what you describe (distance, financial burden) are addressed there.
Did I mention, you need a lawyer?
- kanetw 4y agoFirst thing we did was get a lawyer.
- MikusR 4y agoAnd they suggested that you write a blog post?
- kanetw 4y agoWe ran it past them and they ok'd it. We as a company are fundamentally very open. It is quite literally a core facet of our business, and that includes not just the technical parts. Of course there's stuff that's internal, but something that's literally a matter of public record isn't it.
- WaitWaitWha 4y agoThank you. It did not come across in your blog post. May your lawyer be cheap, vicious, despicable, and never-losing.
- awinter-py 4y agorule 45 allows attorneys of record in a case to issue subpoenas without leave of the court, I think subpoena may not 'come from the court' per this https://media.goldbergsegalla.com/uploads/sll-mpl_forthedefense_oct2013.pdf https://media.goldbergsegalla.com/uploads/sll-mpl_forthedefe... (but this doesn't change your point about risk of contempt + it being a good idea to respond)
