  • Asset recovery column: emerging minority view on delivery of subpoenas under FRCP 45| Sequor Law

    Sequor Law's Leyza B. Florin and Daniel Coyle analyze the emerging minority view on delivering subpoenas under FRCP Rule 45(b)(1) and its impact on cross-border asset recovery. Asset recovery column: emerging minority view on delivery of subpoenas under FRCP 45 Open Legal Insights Open March 25, 2020 5 minutes read Sequor Law Sequor Law shareholder Leyza B. Florin and attorney Daniel Coyle in Miami discuss the emerging trend in US federal and bankruptcy courts regarding service of subpoenas under rule 45(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The language of rule 45(b) establishes the method for serving a subpoena upon the subpoena target. Previously, despite differences in the text between rule 45(b) and rule 4, governing service of original process, courts required subpoenas to be served on the subpoena target exclusively by hand delivery under the methods specified in rule 4. However, rule 45(b) jurisprudence is evolving to a more liberal standard that is both more in line with the text of rule 45(b) and more advantageous to the asset recovery practitioner, and client, seeking third-party discovery – especially from discovery targets in cross-border cases who maintain multiple residences or a more transient presence in the United States. Service of a subpoena versus service of process— what is the difference and why is there a difference? First and foremost, service of a subpoena under rule 45 is accomplished by “delivery”, and specifically, “delivering a copy [of the subpoena] to the named person”. Juxtapose this language with the text of rule 4, specifically subsections “e” and “f” specifying the method for service of process of natural persons, which is also applicable for service of process of artificial persons, in and outside of the US and it is clear that the standards are notably different. Noticeably absent from the text of rule 45 are the words “personally”; “hand” delivery; or “abode” service. References to rule 4, and state rules of service of process are also missing. Thus, based upon a plain meaning of the rules, the method of service of a subpoena is not the same as service of process. In the bankruptcy context, construing rule 45 to require personal service or even abode service of a subpoena leads to an even more bizarre result since, under rule 7004(b), service of process of an adversary proceeding may be validly accomplished by first class mail. The distinction between the method of service of a subpoena and service of process was crucial to Judge A. Jay Cristol’s reasoned opinion in the 2008 case of Falcon is not the only case to analyze the distinctions between rule 45(b) and rule (4), but it provides an insightful exposition of several cases from various courts as well as an insightful analysis of the language of both rules to explain why the method of accomplishing service under each rule is different. Judge Cristol analysed several judicial decisions from both inside and outside Florida, each of which determined that the service of a subpoena upon the recipient by a means other than personal service was valid. Moving to a statutory construction analysis, Judge Cristol determined that the term “delivering” was ambiguous and should be considered in the context of other parts of rule 45, “as well as other federal rules.” Judge Cristol stated that a reading of rule 45(b)(1) as requiring the subpoena to be personally served, would render the language of rule 45(b)(4) regarding the “manner of service”, and the language of rule 4(e)(2)(A) and 4(f)(2)(C)(i) requiring the process be delivered “personally”, as “superfluous” and “pure surplusage.” Construing rule 45(b) to require personal service would thus run afoul of the Surplusage Canon (). Dubbing this approach the “better-reasoned, modern, emerging minority position,” Judge Cristol applied it to the facts of the case before him. Other factors are also germane to determining that service is valid. The public policy underlying the service requirement is ensuring the receipt of the subpoena so that the subpoena target has notice of both the subpoena, and what is required/requested from the subpoena target. Thus, the purpose of the service requirement is actual receipt, which the courts accord significant weight to. Courts also focus on equitable considerations when determining validity, such as attempts by subpoena targets to subvert the purpose of the rules by hyper-technically construing them as an artifice to evade service. For instance, in the 2000 case of , the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York found rule 45 allows for service of a subpoena by certified mail on a deponent who rebuffed attempts at personal service and whose doorman restricted a process server’s access to a deponent’s apartment. What is “delivery” and what constitutes “delivery” under the emerging minority position? Delivery under this approach was defined in as serving the subpoena in a manner that reasonably insures actual receipt of the subpoena by the witness. Some courts, adopting the emerging minority position, have fleshed out this standard by providing that service may be accomplished by mailing the subpoena to the subpoena target’s known address in the US or abroad. Other courts have established that sending the subpoena by common carrier is sufficient. In the case, the court determined that substitute service on another member of the household constitutes valid service, even though the subpoena target did not reside at the address where the subpoena was delivered. At least one court has ruled that delivering the subpoena to the subpoena target’s agent is sufficient, and other courts have upheld service on domestic workers. Indeed, in a recent ruling in the case of in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, Judge Robert Mark held that service of the subpoena by delivering it to a non-resident domestic worker at the address where the subpoena target’s family lived was sufficient. The emerging minority position should continue to gain adherents and traction The so-called emerging minority position is consistent with the text of rule 45(b) and consistent with the canons of statutory construction. It is also consistent with the policy aims of the service rule: ensuring actual receipt. The emerging minority position also establishes a more liberal standard that serves another laudable public policy goal: easing the discovery of information that will increase the likelihood of recovering assets while simultaneously discouraging the corruption of the rules of civil procedure by swindlers as a ruse to avoid valid service and valid discovery. The advantage of this more liberal standard for the asset-recovery attorney seeking discovery from discovery-targets in cross-border cases is clear. A lower threshold for effecting service eases the burden of attempting to serve discovery-targets who maintain a presence both inside and outside of the United States and lowers the likelihood of having to pursue discovery in foreign jurisdictions under the slow and cumbersome procedures of the Hague Convention or through a letter rogatory in a non-member state.

    Meet Sequor Law Attorney Jennifer Mosquera, an asset recovery specialist who discusses her passion for international law, her approach to complex cases, and her path to the legal profession. Attorney Spotlight: Jennifer Mosquera Open Attorney Spotlight Open September 25, 2023 2 minutes read Sequor Law What inspired you to pursue a law career? When I was in high school, I became heavily involved in mock trial, moot court, and debate. My senior year I had the honor of arguing before the Florida Supreme Court and winning the Florida State Moot Court Finals. Participating in these programs showed me all of the ways the law was dynamic and interesting, and it helped me realize that I wanted to be a lawyer. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? The most important skills I employ in my asset recovery practice are critical thinking and consistency. A lot of times, the best solutions require not only creativity, but additional follow through to make sure the desired results are achieved. Why did you choose those areas of law? I practice in the asset recovery space because I have an interest in international law and the challenges found therein. I enjoy keeping up with and learning about changes in the international law area, and thinking of the best ways to apply them to my practice. You are heavily involved in many industry organizations. What do you enjoy most about your memberships? I enjoy fostering relationships with other attorneys and business leaders, both in South Florida and around the world. Nurturing these connections means that I learn more and have a deeper understanding of others perspectives, which is critical to improving my practice. I especially enjoy when this leads to opportunities to give back to the broader community — for example, I am involved with the Legal Services of Greater Miami, which provides legal counsel to low income individuals in South Florida. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career? Judge Lynn Quimby-Pennock was one of the first mentors I had in the legal field and she mentored me throughout law school and beyond. While I was completing my studies, she and I would have lunch together at least once a month, where we would talk not only about the challenges of legal practices, but also issues of integrity and honesty. She taught me that to be a good lawyer you have to maintain good moral character both in and out of the courtroom. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? I’d likely work in something relating to paleography. I’ve always been interested in ancient manuscripts and rare books. What might people be surprised to learn about you? For many years, I made sculptures predominantly using clay as my preferred medium. Some of my pieces were showcased in local amateur art exhibitions. What is a good book you read recently or your favorite book? Wild by Cheryl Strayed is a recent favorite. I don’t typically favor memoirs, but this one really stuck with me.

I was inspired to pursue a career in the law after having negative experiences with the law as a child. Growing up I wanted to change the relationship I had with the law and use the legal field to build myself and my community up. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I chose the areas of law I practice because it allows me to take advantage of Miami’s unique position as a hub for the exchange of culture, business, and legal work. Practicing in areas like cross border insolvency and arbitration allows me to gain a broad range of perspectives from clients across the globe. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? The skills I draw upon in my practice areas are understanding how all the moving pieces of a case fit together and being flexible in order to deliver results for the client. Being able to understand how these pieces fit together keeps a case moving forward and being flexible permits adapting to changing circumstances in order to still deliver for a client. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job? The most rewarding part of the job is being able to deliver for a client. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. A mentor who had an impact on my career was my high school AP European History teacher. He also served as my coach for the international debate club which was where I first became interested in international law which has carried on until today. 6.
