in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a court is handling a case brought under section 4 of this title, and justice requires bringing in more parties, the court can summon them even if they live outside the court's district. The marshal of any district can serve the subpoenas needed to do that.

Whenever a court has a case pending under section 4 of this title, and it appears to that court that justice requires bringing in additional parties, the court may have them summoned — whether or not they live in the district where the court sits. Subpoenas needed to summon those additional parties may be served in any district by the marshal of that district.

Whenever it shall appear to the court before which any proceeding under section 4 of this title may be pending, that the ends of justice require that other parties should be brought before the court, the court may cause them to be summoned, whether they reside in the district in which the court is held or not; and subpoenas to that end may be served in any district by the marshal thereof.
