S.D. Ga. LR Crim. 17
Subpoenas
(a) Purpose. Subpoenas are not discovery tools. Rather, they are
designed to secure the presence of witnesses and evidence at a
scheduled trial, hearing, or other proceeding.
(b) Timing of Production. Subpoenas issued under Federal Rule of
Criminal Procedure 17(c) may require a witness to produce
documents or objects at a scheduled trial, hearing, or other
proceeding. A subpoena may not command earlier production unless
authorized by a Court order.
(c) Location of Production. All documents and objects produced in
response to a subpoena issued under Federal Rule of Criminal
Procedure 17(c) shall be delivered to the Court at the date and time
specified in the subpoena.
(d) Grand Jury Subpoenas. Subpoenas issued by a grand jury may
command production of documents prior to a scheduled grand jury
session.
