To The Honorable Judge Pemberton,

On Tuesday September 26, I was served with a subpoena for deposition in the divorce case of Jennifer Carol Brewster v Kenneth Nathaniel Brewster, case 2021-CV-112. The deposition was scheduled for October 4, 9:00 am at a location in Loudon.

I will not be able to attend the deposition due to a previously scheduled medical appointment on the same day and time.

On September 26, I contacted the law office of Kenneth Nathaniel Brewster, who issued the subpoena, to let them know of the conflict. I was connected to the lawyer’s voicemail where I left a message of the time conflict. I did not receive a return call. On September 27, I contacted the same law office by email to inform them of the time conflict, I never received a reply. On September 28, I sent the law firm an overnight, certified, signature required letter by USPS  informing them of the time conflict. The letter was received in their office and signed for on September 29 10:00 am. I still haven’t heard anything from their office.

Please allow this letter to stand as an objection of the subpoena due to a medical appointment conflict. The subpoena states that I have 21 days to file any objections to the subpoena yet I have only 8 days from the time I received the subpoena until the date I was to be deposed.

In my correspondence with the law office, I have agreed to be deposed at most any other day or time.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Van Shaver
