Subpoena for Bank Info

[eap84]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

Hi guys,

I'll be heading into small claims court soon and to prove part of my case I want to prove that the defendant received checks from another party(I don't have the name or any other info on this person, but I know they do exist).

I know I can subpoena a witness to appear in court, and I know I can subpoena the defendant to produce whatever documents I ask for, but is there anyway I can subpoena his bank directly and get the info from them?

Also, what I'm specifically looking for is proof that the defendant deposited checks from that 3rd party, so I want a copy of the actual check he deposited. So if I can't the subpoena the bank directly, I'm thinking I'd order him to bring bank statements and a copy of all the checks he deposited that show up on the statement. Would that be enough?

Thanks

I don't know . It all depends on the numbers and if they correspond with your suit .

Why not just try an information subpoena also ?

You might get lucky and he answers it .
