RICHARD JORDAN, RICKY CHASE, Plaintiffs-Appellants, versus COMMISSIONER, MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Defendant, GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Movant-Appellee., 947 F.3d 1322

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-In plaintiffs' action claiming there was a less painful alternative to Mississippi's three-drug protocol for a death row inmate, Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3)(A)(iv) required that a subpoena be quashed because forcing Georgia to disclose it source of pentobarbital would result in the drug becoming completely unavailable for use in executions; Rule 45(d)(3)(A)(iv) makes it mandatory to quash any subpoena that would impose an undue burden on the target of the subpoena.
