Ms. Friis:
As we discussed, my office represents the Town of Gulf Stream in this matter. Because I am not in a position to provide
you with any legal advice, I would recommend that you consult with your own attorney.
If you elect not to consult with an attorney, you should still consider expressing your concerns about the subpoena in a
detailed letter directed to the clerk of the court.
With respect to the Issues of untimely service and the absence of a witness fee, please note that some federal courts
have held that the failure to meet both the service and witness fee requirements of Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure results in ineffective service of the subpoena. Seg In the Matter of Dennis, 330 F. 3d 696, 704 (5th Cir. 2003)
(stating that the plain meaning of Rule 45(b)(1) requires simultaneous tendering of witness fees and the reasonably
estimated mileage allowed by law with service of a subpoena); Kimbroueh v. City of Cocoa, No. 6:05-cv-471-Od-31KRS,
2006 WL 3412258, at '1 (M.D. Fla. Nov. 27, 2006)(quashing a subpoena for failing to comply with the requirements of
Rule 45, including tendering witness fees and mileage to witness). Despite these authorities, the judge in this case is
still entitled to review all of the relevant facts and to make an Independent determination as to the validity of your
subpoena.
As a result, whether you decide to rely upon an attorney or to write your own letter, prompt action is recommended.
I would only ask that you email me a copy of any document you submit to the clerk of the court.

Dear Jeff,
I am a real estate broker at Corcoran and a dear friend of Scott and Lisa Morgan. I was served a subpoena on
Wednesday June 1 from Martin O'boyle with the lawyer's name and email below. When I phoned him to let him know I
was not going to be in the country, he told me he was not Mr. O'boyle's lawyer and that I would need to email Mr.
O'boyle directly to let him know and I did. I was under the impression, you needed to be served a subpoena at least a
week in advance. Am I correct in that? Please let me know what I should do.

Re: O'Boyle v. Robert Sweetapple et al.
Case No.: 9:14-CV-81250-KAM
Dear Mr. O'Boyle:
Telephone(561)447-0017
Facsimile (561) 447.0018
This firm represents non-party Candice Friis with respect to the Subpoena To Testify At a
Deposition In A Civil Action ("Subpoena") which you had served on her in the above case, and
with respect to the Motion to Compel and Memorandum, both of which are dated June 7, 2016.
Ms. Friis received the Subpoena on May 31, 2016. She promptly notified you the following
day that she would be out of the country on June 6, 2016 — the date you had unilaterally noticed
her for deposition. At your request, Ms. Friis subsequently emailed you a copy of her airline ticket
stub to substantiate this. Ms. Friis did not have internet access when you sent your follow up email
demanding proof showing when she purchased her airline ticket. Despite Ms. Friis having put you
on notice that she would be out of the country when you unilaterally scheduled her deposition for
June 6, 2016, and her providing you with a copy of her airline ticket stub substantiating that fact,
you nevertheless elected to proceed with her deposition, to obtain a certificate of non-appearance,
and to file a motion to compel her deposition and memorandum with the court.
This pattem of conduct is all the more egregious since the Subpoena and your service of it
did not comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of the United States
District Court for the Southem District of Florida. First, S.D. Fla. L.R. 26.1(h) provides that a
party desiring to take a deposition shall give notice to all other parties and to the deponent at least
7 days in advance of the deposition. It continues that "Failure to comply with this rule obviates
the need for protective order."
The Subpoena you served on Ms. Friis on May 31, 2016 requiring compliance on June 6
provided her with less than 7 days' notice and thus facially failed to comply with S.D. L.R. 26.1(h).
Ms. Friis was therefore under no duty to seek a protective order in response to it.
Second, Fed.R.Civ.P. 45(b)(1) requires that Ms. Friis receive the required witness fee with
the Subpoena. She received no such witness fee, however, contrary to the clear requirements of
the rule. Several courts have denied motions to compel a non-party's deposition where the required
witness fee did not accompany the subpoena. Smith v. Fla. Dept, of Corrections, 369 Fed. Appx.
36, 2 (1 I'b Cir. 2010); Pride Family Brands, Inc. v. Carls Patio, Inc., 2013 WL 4647216 (S.D. Fla.
2013)(holding that the party shall serve the non-party with a proper subpoena pursuant to Rule 45,
with the required witness fee, and that the deposition of the non-party would take place at a
mutually agreed upon date and time by a date certain).
Third, FedRCiv.P. 45(a)(B) provides that the subpoena shall include the method of taking
the testimony. The Subpoena which you had served on Ms. Friis did not include this language
required by the rule.
Finally, I understand that the Subpoena misrepresents that Daniel DeSouza, Esq., assisted
you with the preparation of it. After Ms. Friis received the Subpoena, she called Mr. DeSouza at
the phone number listed on the Subpoena. He informed her that he was your former counsel but
that he was no longer assisting you with this case.
Given the above fact pattern, Ms. Friis respectfully requests that you immediately file a
notice withdrawing your motion to compel against her and the memorandum which you filed in
support.
If you fail to file a notice withdrawing your motion to compel and memorandum in support
by the close of business on Monday June 13, 2016 and to provide me with proof of the filed
document then, out of an abundance of caution, Ms. Friis may file an appropriate motion with the
court. If she does so, then she will seek all reasonable attomey's fees and costs against you which
she incurs in connection with the motion.
Nothing herein shall waive the rights, remedies, claims, or defenses of Candice Friis, all of
which are specifically reserved.
Very truly yours,
sti
