A GUIDE TO USING THE UIDDA

A GUIDE TO USING THE UIDDA The Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act ( UIDDA ) is a useful way to request discoverable documents which are located in another state via subpoena duces tecum. While most states have adopted some form of UIDDA , others lag behind. As of February 2017, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas, Wyoming and Puerto Rico have not enacted it. Some other states (such as Massachusetts) have rules which permit foreign states to request documents and other information in-state but do not use UIDDA language and may not be as complete as UIDDA . Legislation has been introduced in Arkansas. Where the party that maintains the record is a corporation with a registered NC agent, see the 2014 Formal Ethics Opinion about subpoenaing those records.

the 2014 Formal Ethics Opinion about subpoenaing those records. HOW TO USE IT 1. Determine if the state where the record is located has adopted the UIDDA. See this list. 2. If so, prepare a NC Subpoena using the AOC-G-100 form. State on the NC subpoena that it is not enforceable but is being provided for the purpose of obtaining a UIDDA subpoena.
