Publix Super Markets, Inc., 30 So. 3d 712 (Fla. 4" DCA 2010) (court of appeal quashing discovery order where party sought law firm client file relating to a different matter holding that “curiosity” about a law firm’s records does not satisfy the relevance requirement and explaining that the contents of the “subpoena is a classic ‘fishing expedition’ and the trial court’s order departs from the essential requirements of the law.”); Calvo v.

Indeed, the face of many of Defendant’s subpoena demands demonstrate that he is using the subpoena power of this Court to obtain discovery for the federal action. Request nos. 1, 5, 6 and 9 all reference the “federal action” or specifically cite the declaration and case number “OS- SO736-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON. Request no. 1, for example, demands: “All documents that reference by name, Alan M.
