RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE For the Trial Division of the Yap ...

The person to whom the subpoena is directed may, within 10 days after the service
thereof or on or before the time specified in the subpoena for compliance if such time is
less than 20 days after service, serve upon the attorney or trial counselor designated in the
subpoena written objection to inspection or copying of any or all of the designated
materials. If objection is made, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled to
inspect and copy the materials except pursuant to an order of the court from which the
subpoena was issued. The party serving the subpoena may, if objection has been made,
move upon notice to the deponent for an order at any time before or during the taking of
the deposition.
(2) The court, upon motion made promptly, may quash or modify the subpoena if
it is unreasonable or oppressive to the person it is directed to in regard to the place where
the deposition is proposed to be taken.
(e) Subpoena for a Hearing or Trial. A subpoena requiring the attendance of a
witness at a hearing or trial may be served at any place within the State of Yap. The
court, upon motion made promptly, may quash or modify the subpoena if it is
unreasonable or oppressive to the person it is directed to in regard to the travel involved
to the place of the hearing or trial.
(f) Contempt. Failure by any person without adequate excuse to, obey a subpoena
served upon him may be deemed a contempt of the court.
Rule 46. Objecting to a Ruling or Order. A formal exception to a ruling or order is
unnecessary. When the ruling or order is requested or made, a party need only state the
action that it wants the court to take or objects to, along with the grounds for the request
or objection. Failing to object does not prejudice a party who had no opportunity to do so
when the ruling or order was made.
Comment: Rule 46 has been changed to ease comprehension and to reflect the
most recent version of the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. No significant
substantive changes are intended.
Rules 47.-51. Vacant. (Dealing with Jury)
Rule 52. Findings by the Court.
(a) Effect. In all actions the court shall find the facts specially and state separately its
conclusions of law on it, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to Rule 58; and in
granting or refusing interlocutory injunctions the court shall similarly set forth the
findings of fact and conclusions of law which make up the grounds of its action. Requests
for findings are not necessary for purposes of review. Findings of fact shall not be set
aside unless clearly erroneous, and due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the
trial court to judge the credibility of the witnesses. The findings of a master, to the extent
that the court adopts them shall be considered as the findings of the court. If an opinion or
memorandum of decision is filed, it will be sufficient if the findings of fact and
conclusions of law appear therein. Findings of fact and conclusions of law are
unnecessary on decisions of motions under Rules 12 and 56 or any other motion except
