MOTION FOR LEAVE OF COURT TO SUBPOENA THIRD-PARTY RECORDS

Comes now the State of Indiana, by Nicholas C. McLeland, Prosecuting Attorney for the

74th Judicial Circuit, and moves this Court for an Order for ViaPath Technologies, Attn: Andrea

Melera, 3120 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 300, Falls Church, VA 22042-4570, to produce to the

Carroll County Prosecutor’s Office, Attn: Nicholas C. McLeland, 101 West Main Street, Delphi,

IN 46923, any and all phone calls made by inmate Richard Allen while he was housed at

Westville Correctional Facility and Wabash Correctional Facility, both of which are part of the

Indiana Department of Corrections.

After Richard Allen’s arrest in October of 2022, he was transported to the Indiana

Department of Corrections for safekeeping pending trial. He has been housed in the Indiana

Department of Corrections since November 3rd, 2022. He began his stay in the Westville

Correctional Facility and now has been moved to the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility.

During his incarceration, Richard Allen made several phone calls from the two facilities. During

some of those phone calls he made statements that the State intend to use at trial as evidence in

the case. The phone calls are kept by a third party, ViaPath Technologies. They are the keeper

of the records for the phone calls made by inmates housed in the Indiana Department of

Corrections.
Based on this information the State has filed a Motion for Leave to obtain these records.

The State is requesting the phone calls made by Richard Allen during his incarceration in the

Indiana Department of Corrections from November 3rd, 2022 until present specified in the

attached Subpoena Duces Tecum and/or Request for Production of Documents and Records to a

Non-Party: (H.I.)

This request is made for the purpose of preparing for trial in this matter. The State

believes that the phone calls will be introduced into evidence. The State believe the phone calls

made by Richard Allen are relevant and would assist the State in presenting it’s case at trial.

This matter is set for trial to begin on May 13th, 2024. Given the short time frame, the

State of Indiana believes that Trial Rule 34(C)(2) applies in that only 1 day of notice is required

to the Defense before the subpoena can be served. The State of Indiana has been in contact with

the Defense about the phone calls. The parties have had discussions about stipulating to the

phone calls. However, to date, the State has not heard back from the Defense as to whether they

will stipulate or not. The State has notified the Defense of this subpoena. Further the State has

notified the Defense that the State believes Trial Rule 34(C)(2) applies given that trial is to start

in 13 days. The State is unaware if the Defense consents or objects to this motion but is notified

of the same.

WHEREFORE, the State of Indiana, by Nicholas C. McLeland, Prosecuting Attorney for

the 74th Judicial Circuit, respectfully prays that this Court review the attached Subpoena and then

order production of said records, and such other relief as is just and proper in the premises.

Respectfully submitted,
