'''Rule 45 ''' of the [[Federal Rules of Civil Procedure]] sets forth the rules for the [[deposition]]s of third parties in litigation:
(a) In General.
(e) Contempt.
The issuing court may hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena. A nonparty's failure to obey must be excused if the subpoena purports to require the nonparty to attend or produce at a place outside the limits of Rule 45(c)(3)(A)(ii).
