• Yes. Any party, for good cause shown, may petition under seal the district court for issuance of a subpoena, subpoena duces tecum, or any order allowing discovery prior to the filing of a formal complaint. Except for good cause shown, all petitions shall require a five-day written notice to the opposing party prior to the issuance of an order of subpoena.
