Kevin J Mattson

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
DISTRICT OF MAINE
In re:
KEVIN J. MATTSON,
Debtor.
Chapter 7
Case No. 24-20188
ORDER DENYING DEBTOR’S CONSOLIDATED
MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENAS
Kevin J. Mattson, the debtor in the above-captioned case, seeks an order quashing, or in
the alternative, modifying subpoenas Montresor, LLC issued to Gardiner Federal Credit Union,
Kennebec Savings, and Winthrop Federal Credit Union on or about April 2, 2026 in connection
with a pending contested matter. Mr. Mattson contends that the requests for information
contained in the subpoenas are unduly burdensome because they are duplicative of requests
Montresor, LLC made in connection with an earlier proceeding. Though Mr. Mattson does not
reference the rule, the Court presumes he is moving under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3)(A)(iv), as
made applicable to this proceeding by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7045.
Courts have long held that non-recipients lack standing under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(3) to
challenge a subpoena on the basis of undue burden. See, Silverstone Holding Grp., LLC v.
Zhongtie Dacheng (Zhuhai) Inv. Mgmt. Co., Ltd., 605 F.Supp.3d 199, 202-03 (S.D.N.Y. 2023)
(“[b]ecause Silverstone is not the recipient of the subpoena, it does not have standing to
challenge the subpoena on the independent grounds of undue burden or relevance.”). See also,

Pharmacy and Health Sciences – Vermont Campus, 2014 WL 3378629, at *3 (D.Vt. July 10,

As Mr. Mattson is not the recipient of the subpoenas, he has no standing to move for
quashal and, therefore, the motions is DENIED.
