Facts
A federal district responded to a letter rogatory from Montreal, Canada’s Justice Court of Sessions of the Peace by subpoenaing evidence that the Canadian government could use in prosecuting John Fecarotta (defendant), an American citizen, on criminal charges. Fecarotta appealed to the Sixth Circuit. Fecarotta argued that the applicable statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1782, did not authorize the issuance of subpoenas for use in foreign criminal proceedings.
