de Tesak v. Superior Court CA4/1
Claudia Elena Tesak de Rushin (Claudia) filed this action to dissolve her marriage to Darren Rushin (Darren) in 2018. In January 2020, while Claudia’s mother, Ildiko Juhasz de Tesak (Ildiko), was visiting California, Darren personally served Ildiko with a subpoena directing her to appear at a deposition. After Ildiko failed to appear, Darren filed a request for an order to compel Ildiko’s appearance at a deposition.
Claudia and Ildiko filed separate oppositions to Darren’s request. In her opposition, Claudia argued that the trial court lacked subpoena jurisdiction over Ildiko. Specifically, Claudia argued that Ildiko was not a resident of California, as is required for a subpoena to be enforceable under Code of Civil Procedure section 1989.
