The person who filed the motion to quash the subpoena is usually the person or entity who received the subpoena. In Kansas, a motion to quash a subpoena must be filed with the court in a timely manner. When a motion to quash has been filed, the court must then rule on the motion. A court will consider whether the subpoena is proper or if the person or entity being subpoenaed has valid grounds to challenge the subpoena.

However, the court may also impose a stay of proceedings or a protective order upon the person or entity that received the subpoena. This stay of proceedings or protective order will prevent the person or entity from either providing information or documents to the court or to the person requesting the subpoena.
