CIVIL ACTION - LAW
NO. 02-4413
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
OBJECTIONS TO SUBPOENA PURSUANT TO RULE 4009.21
AND NOW comes Terrence J. Kerwin, Esquire, on behalf of John Baker, Trinity School
Board Member, and Trinity High School, who respectfully objects to the proposed Subpoena that
is attached to these Objections, for the following reasons:
1. John Baker and Trinity High School have received from Plaintiffs a Notice of Intent to
Serve a Subpoena to Attend and Testify at Deposition and to Produce Documents and Things. A
copy of said proposed Subpoena is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A".
2. John Baker and Trinity High School are not parties to the above-captioned matter.
3. The proposed subpoena only pertains to John Baker acting in his capacity as a Trinity
High School Board Member.
4. The proposed subpoena is unduly burdensome, and burdensome for the following
reasons:
(a) Trinity High School has already provided the Plaintiff with written documents
requested by the Plaintiff.
(b) Plaintiff has already subpoenaed and deposed Sister Francine Gagne, Principal
of Trinity High School whose deposition was 133 pages in length and whose deposition took 4
hours.
(c) The Plaintiff has already taken the deposition of James R. Hudson, Director of
Student Affairs at Trinity High School, whose deposition was 45 pages in length and whose
deposition took over an hour.
(d) Trinity High School has been required to pay for the cost of transcripts of the
depositions and made arrangements for Counsel to attend the depositions for the employees of
Trinity High School placing a burden on the school.
5. Plaintiff has not yet taken the deposition of the Defendant, whose deposition would
presumably be essential to Plaintiff's case.
6. Plaintiff's deposition has not been taken by the Defendant.
7. No Complaint has been filed alleging a cause of action.
WHEREFORE, John Baker and Trinity High School respectfully request the Court to dismiss
any request for the issuance of a subpoena until such time as the parties themselves have been
deposed and a complaint filed and a reasonable explanation as to why the deposition of John Baker
is necessary after five hours of depositions have already been taken of Trinity High School
personnel.
