Discovery request

Discovery requests and responses must generally be served on all parties, subject to the stated production-request exception.

Electronic filing does not change the applicable filing deadlines.

A document filed through JEFS or JIMS is deemed filed at the date and time shown on the Notice of Electronic Filing, which reflects the court’s receipt time rather than the user’s transmission time.

When the clerk electronically files a conventionally submitted paper document, the document’s receipt date and time are preserved as its filing date.

Documents may not have flyleaves or backs and must be neat, legible, and free of interlineations.
