Local Rule 7026-1: Filing and Service of Discovery Materials
Bankr. S.D. Ill. — Civil rule
L.R. 7026-1 – Filing and Service of Discovery Materials. Because of the considerable cost to the parties of furnishing discovery materials, and the serious problems encountered with storage, the Court adopts the following procedure for filing of discovery materials with the Court:
A. If relief is sought under Rules 26(c) or 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, concerning any disclosures, interrogatories, or requests for production or inspection, answers to interrogatories or responses to requests for production or inspection, copies of the portions of the disclosures, interrogatories, requests, answers or responses in dispute shall be filed with the Court contemporaneously with any motion filed under these Rules.
B. If disclosures, interrogatories, requests, answers, responses or depositions are to be used at trial or are necessary to a pre-trial motion which might result in a final order on any issue, the portions to be used shall be filed with the Court at the outset of the trial or at the filing of the motion insofar as their use can be reasonably anticipated.
