J. Duffin partially grants the insured's motion to compel discovery for the bad-faith claim in her lawsuit against the insurance company over underinsured motorist benefits she is attempting to claim stemming from in a car accident.

J. Do finds that the trial court erred in compelling the compliance of nonparties with subpoenas to appear and produce documents in an arbitration proceeding. The subpoenas were discovery subpoenas that impermissibly required the production of documents by nonparties. That the production was required to take place at a hearing did not transform them into subpoenas to attend a hearing, which could be compelled. Reversed.
