N.D. Ga. — Civil rule
LR 26.3 SERVICE AND FILING OF DISCOVERY MATERIAL
(A) Filing Not Generally Required. Interrogatories, requests for inspection, requests for admission, and answers and responses thereto shall be served upon other counsel or parties, but they shall not be routinely filed with the Court. The party responsible for service of the discovery material shall, however, file a certificate with the clerk indicating the date of service. Counsel shall also retain the original discovery material and become its custodian.
(B) Selective Filing Required for Motions, Trial and Appeal.
(1) The custodial party shall file with the clerk at the time of use at trial or with the filing of a motion those portions of depositions, interrogatories, requests for documents, requests for admission and answers or responses thereto which are used at trial or which are necessary to the motion.
(2) Where discovery materials not previously in the record are needed for appeal purposes, the Court, upon application, may order or counsel may stipulate in writing that the necessary materials be filed with the clerk.
