ORDER ON MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENAS

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
