Ex Parte Jerry Newby and Alfa Mutual Insurance Company. (in Re Foundation Farms, LLC v. Alfa Mutual Insurance Company)

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court denied the petition for mandamus, holding that the petitioners failed to demonstrate that the circuit court clearly exceeded its discretion in denying the motion to quash a subpoena of former Alfa CEO Jerry Newby. The court found no evidence that Newby’s testimony would be patently irrelevant and therefore affirmed the lower court’s order.
