The application for subpoenas was dismissed because evidence sought about the purity and street value of the convicted transactions was not relevant to the material issue — the extent of benefit from significant criminal activity as nominated by the Commissioner — and the proposed witnesses could not give admissible evidence on those matters; the statutory scheme allows the Commissioner to prove benefit beyond the specific transactions of conviction, so subpoenas were unnecessary and would not assist the Court.
