J. Gibbons finds the lower court properly enforced the subpoena filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Although the notice was sent to the employer's legal counsel and uploaded to the EEOC's online portal, the employer had accepted service of previous subpoenas in this fashion and cannot claim it was not properly served. Additionally, the improper reply date on the subpoena was merely a scrivener's error that did not render the entire document defective and allowed the court to enforce the subpoena. Affirmed.
