    You need to have the Clerk stamp the Subpoena for Production of Documents and have that served on the bank in question. The custodian of the bank will then have to appear at the time and place as indicated on the subpoena with the documents.

    If you are the one preparing the subpoena you keep a copy and send the original and a copy to the Clerk for issuance.

    And you are "Pro Se" not Pro Per. Pro Se means you are your own attorney.

    You need to go down to the Clerk's Office and speak with them so you use the proper form for this subpoena. Or better yet, go to the law library in the Courthouse (all courthouses have law libraries) and ask the librarian there to help you find the proper form in a law book to follow. You don't really seem to know what you are doing here.

    It is different in every state. Michigan for example calls it In Pro Per when you are representing yourself.

    Not true, unfortunately. Not here. My theory is that the judges don't know how to read, so the powers-that-be decided that there is no need to invest in a library for them. :rolleyes:
