I'm surprised the subpoena doesn't have anything on it that makes it seems like a judge read it. I understand that most subpoenas are just approved by the judge and issued without review, and that the opposition is expected to file a motion-to-quash if they don't like it, but this doesn't even seem to have a signature or anything from a judge.

Generally, an attorney can issue a subpoena without a judge's approval. It's when you ignore it or challenge it that a court gets involved.
