§ 1201. Subpoenas. A subpoena and a subpoena duces tecum, and the\npowers of the court with reference to them, shall be governed by the\nCPLR, except that they shall be served only within the city of New York\nor in a county adjoining such city. But the court, upon motion of a\nparty which need not be on notice, may issue either kind of subpoena and\npermit its service elsewhere outside the city of New York if satisfied\nthat the interests of justice would be served thereby.\n
