5B3e

Apart from the subpoena, additional materials appropriate for a motion to quash would depend on the circumstances of the case.

There are no additional materials that are needed to be attached to motions to quash. However, depending on the particular circumstances, a reporter may want to submit an affidavit with the motion or other documents or materials relied upon in support of the motion.

As a practical matter, the journalists should attach to the Motion to Quash an affidavit supporting the motion to ensure that the Court knows that the reporter falls within the definition of journalist contained in the shield law.
