What is a motion to quash a subpoena?

A motion to quash a subpoena is a legal document that is filed in a civil procedure court in Arizona. It is a way for someone to challenge a subpoena that has been issued against them. In other words, it is a way for a person to ask the court to declare the subpoena invalid or to block it from being enforced. A motion to quash can be filed for several different reasons. These reasons include if the request is too vague, overly broad, or if the request is for privileged information that the person doesn’t have to divulge. It can also be used if the person feels that the request is too burdensome or if it is legally irrelevant to the case. Additionally, the person can file a motion to quash if they feel that the subpoena is being used for an improper purpose. This includes if it is being used for harassment or if the request is made in bad faith. If the court grants the motion to quash, it means that the subpoena has been invalidated and the person no longer has to comply with it. However, if it is denied, the person must comply with the subpoena or face penalties for not doing so.
