# §962.14. (Rule 14) Enforcement of subpoenas.


In the case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena issued under §§ [962.9(b)(5)](/cfr/39/962.9.md?p=b-5) and [962.13](/cfr/39/962.13.md) (Rules [9](/cfr/39/9.md) and [13](/cfr/39/13.md)), the United States district courts have jurisdiction to issue an appropriate order enforcing a subpoena. Any failure to obey a district court may be punishable as contempt. If the Postal Service seeks to enforce a subpoena under this section, the Postal Service will request the Attorney General to petition the district court for the district in which a hearing under this part is being conducted or in which the person receiving the subpoena resides or conducts business to issue such an order.
