15-6-45(d). Subpoena for taking depositions--Place of examination. (1) Proof of service of a notice to take a deposition as provided in §§ 15-6-30(b) and 15-6-31(a) constitutes a sufficient authorization for the issuance by any person specified in § 15-6-45(a) or by the clerk of courts of the county in which the deposition is to be taken of subpoenas for the persons named or described therein. The subpoena may command the person to whom it is directed to produce and permit inspection and copying of designated books, papers, documents, or tangible things which constitute or contain evidence relating to any of the matters within the scope of the examination permitted by § 15-6-26(b), but in that event the subpoena will be subject to the provisions of §§ 15-6-26(c) and 15-6-45(b).
The person to whom the subpoena is directed may, within ten days after the service thereof or on or before the time specified in the subpoena for compliance if such time is less than ten days after service, serve upon the attorney designated in the subpoena written objection to inspection or copying of any or all of the designated materials. If objection is made, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled to inspect and copy the materials except pursuant to an order of the court from which the subpoena was issued. The party serving the subpoena may, if objection has been made, move upon notice to the deponent for an order at any time before or during the taking of the deposition.
