No. A judgment is a legal instrument granted by the court to the plaintiff for debt owed by the defendant. The judgment creditor may then execute the judgment according to the laws of the debtor's state to recover monies owed. A subpoena is a written order from the court requiring the named person to appear at the date and time stated to give testimony and present the requested documents. NEVER fail to respond to a subpoena. To do so could result in being charged with contempt of a court order if the judge believes the act was made with the deliberate intent to obstruct justice. The maximum sentence for contempt of court is two years in a state or federal facility depending upon who holds jurisdiction in matter.
