Excerpt: When the clerk verifies the green card is back you are ready for the next step: go back to the SCC clerk's office and request a Subpoena for Records form (no cost). Herein this form will be referred to as the "ORIGINAL S f R". The Subpoena for Records is also called a "Subpoena Duces Tecum". The id. no. of the form is CIV-GP-70 (3/91). Be prepared to provide the clerk with your name, the name of the defendant and your case's index number, (REMEMBER I TOLD YOU TO KNOW YOUR CASE/INDEX NUMBER). "Subpoena Duces Tecum" is a Latin phrase meaning "bring with you under penalty of punishment". The summons is called a "subpoena for production of evidence" in some U.S. states that have sought to reduce the use of non-English words and phrases in court terminology. The subpoena duces tecum is similar to the subpoena ad testificandum, which is a writ (order) summoning a witness to testify orally. The ORIGINAL S f R is two-sided form. The reverse side is called the AFFIDAVIT OF SERVICE OF SUBPOENA FOR RECORDS. ) You may now complete the ORIGINAL S f R side of the form and submit it back to the SCC clerk who will stamp it and place the official seal of the court upon it AND GIVE IT TO YOU. REGARDING COMPLETING THE ORIGINAL S f R FORM: You will note on the example shown (see example) that you are required to fill in the name of the court (in Brooklyn it is referred as the Kings County), the case index number, the "caption" (the name of the defendant and the name the plaintiff). Where it says "To:" put the Defendant's name. Then enumerate specifically the items you want the defendant to send to the court. You should request any and all documents that support your claim to the monies you believe the defendant owes you.

Response to an Information Subpoena served on CitiBank This is a real document. I served CityBank with an InfSub and here is the document I received a week later. The debtor did not have funds in Citibank (all CitiBanks) not just the local branch at which I served the InfSub in-person. Great if you know in which bank your debtor parks his funds just file the InfSub at that bank. You don't have to know exactly which branch. But If you don't know and you have a judgment in your favor. Go back to the SCC window and get 6 information subpoenas under $5.00 and following the instructions I gave you in How to file an Information Subpoena ($3.00) serve one on each of the six most popular banks around where he lives/works.

Begin with "DEBTOR": "Synonymous with the terms “patient”, “client”, “customer”, “defendant”: The person to whom a service was provided or goods were sold and who, for a variety of reasons wrongly refuses, fails or neglects to pay for that service or those goods." 2. CAUSE OF ACTION: See Cause of Action" A “right of action” is the legal right to sue; a cause of action is the facts which give rise to a right of action. If the Statement of Claim (see below) fails to set forth a proper cause of action, it will be dismissed. “Jones failed to pay for the services I rendered pursuant to the retainer agreement between us” is a cause of action.
