1Opinion of the Court
NEUMAN, Justice.
In this narrowly-focused appeal, we are asked to consider the jurisdictional limitations of a municipal civil rights commission’s exercise of its subpoena power. The defendant, Roadway Express, Inc. (Roadway) has appealed from an order granting enforcement of a subpoena duces tecum issued by the plaintiff, Iowa City Human Rights Commission (commission) in connection with a complaint of employment discrimination lodged against Roadway. The trial court concluded that the subpoenaed documents were “proper matters for investigation.” We agree with the trial court and affirm.
