Robertson agreed with Payne’s suggestion, adding that Douglas should also submit a list of the items he claims he has requested but that Baumgardner has failed to produce.

After Robertson adjourned the hearing, Douglas tore up the list of witnesses he has been seeking to subpoena and informed Payne he had no intention of complying with the judge’s directive. At Payne’s request, Robertson returned to the court room and reconvened court. After hearing the report of Douglas’ appointed attorney and his concern that his client may be in contempt if he did not supply the requested list of witnesses, Robertson replied that the list was not required but that he couldn’t approve witnesses without being able to rule first on the materiality of their testimony.

His client. Payne said, is apparently asking for carte blanche authority to subpoena.

The judge responded that he had no objections to ~Douglas subpoenaing anybody ne wanted. "If their testimony is not relevant. I’ll have to exclude it." But if witnesses fail to appear. Robertson emphasized that he won’t continue the case unless Douglas has shown that their testimony is material.
