Local Rule L.R. 1030: Requests for Documents.
Bankr. E.D. Mo. — General rule
L.R. 1030 - Requests for Documents. Except as otherwise specifically provided in any of these Rules, when a party requests a document from another party, any such request should initially be in writing, made either by letter or e-mail, and must not be filed with the Court. Failure to comply with the request within fourteen (14) days of the request will be grounds for the requesting party to file a motion to compel or seek other remedy(ies) from the Court, including dismissal. To comply with the request, the party must provide the documents to the requesting party but must not file the documents or an Exhibit Summary concerning the documents with the Court. Nothing precludes the use of current Motion to Compel practices as otherwise authorized and permitted.
