5. Garcia vs. La Habra Motion to Quash Subpoena City School District Plaintiff Agustin Garcia’s motion to quash the records subpoena 25- 01535218 issued to nonparty deponent Providence St. Jude Medical Center is GRANTED. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 1987.1.)

This motion concerns the records subpoena issued by defendant La Habra City School District (defendant or District) to nonparty deponent Providence St. Jude Medical Center on 5/14/26, seeking any and all records pertaining to plaintiff without any limitation as to body part, medical condition, or subject matter, from 1/1/15 to the present. (Allton Decl. at Ex. A [subject subpoena].)

Plaintiff’s right to privacy in his medical and financial records is well established in law. (Vinson v. Superior Court (1987) 43 Cal.3d 833, 841 (Vinson) [medical records]; Davis v. Superior Court (1992) 7 Cal.App.4th 1008, 1014 (Davis) [medical records]; Cobb v. Superior Court (1979) 99 Cal.App.3d 543, 550 [financial information].)

Disclosure may be ordered when the information is directly relevant and essential to the fair resolution of the lawsuit, and where the need for disclosure outweighs privacy concerns. “The scope of any disclosure must be narrowly circumscribed, drawn with narrow specificity, and must proceed by the least intrusive manner.
