MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA



Elise Haldane, counsel for xxxxxxxxxxx, respectfully moves this Court to quash a subpoena served upon her in this case. As grounds for this motion, the undersigned states:

1. During the late afternoon of January 12, 1998, Secret Service agent Brendan Pickett served a subpoena duces tecum upon counsel, directing her to appear before the Grand Jury on January 13, 1999, at 2:00 p.m. (Attachment A).

2. This case has been indicted, and is pending before the Honorable James Robertson.

3. This subpoena, served after a status hearing in this case on January 12, 1999, represents the latest chapter in a pattern of what appears to be harassment of Ms. xxxxxxx. (Attachment B).

4. The undersigned has not had sufficient time to prepare a detailed response to the subpoena due to the exceptionally late service.

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, and such other reasons as may become apparent at a hearing on this motion, counsel respectfully moves that the subpoena be quashed.


Respectfully submitted,
