Order Denying the Motion to Compel Rule 17(c) Subpoena Compliance
On June 25, 2026, the Honorable Analisa Torres denied Miles Guo's motion to compel a subpoenaed party to produce additional documents under a Rule 17(c) subpoena, and directed the Clerk to terminate the motion at ECF No. 829.
Background
On March 23, 2026, the Court granted Mr. Guo's application to issue a Rule 17(c) subpoena, subject to certain limitations (ECF No. 823). On April 2, 2026, Mr. Guo moved to compel compliance (ECF No. 829), arguing that the subpoenaed party had been evasive and that its production appeared incomplete; the supporting memorandum and exhibits were filed under seal.
The Court's findings
By sworn declarations dated March 24, March 26, and April 24, 2026 (submitted under seal), the subpoenaed party detailed its search for materials responsive to the subpoena's appendix — addressing whether it was aware of such materials, whether they were subject to privileges protecting them from disclosure, and whether they were within its possession, custody, or control. The Court credited the party's good-faith efforts to search for and produce responsive documents and found, in its discretion, that the party had complied with the subpoena. The Court stated that Mr. Guo provided no evidence on which it could conclude otherwise.
Disposition
Mr. Guo's motion to compel was DENIED, and the Clerk was directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 829. Dated June 25, 2026, New York, New York.
