So on the March the 25th I filed my notice of intent to file the subpoena to the dentist and served it on the opposing counsel. So ten days from that date would be what. Also do they count weekends as days, also I filed the notice of intent to the Dentist as well. So my next steps would be what, a motion to compel the records or the actual subpoena followed by the motion to compel the records?
