Effective December 1, 2025 Nebraska Civil Rules
(a) Sequential Numbering.
A party must number each request sequentially, despite the number of sets
of requests for admission.
(b) Form of Response.
In answering or objecting to requests for admission, the responding party
must first state verbatim the propounded request and immediately
thereafter the party's answer or objection.
(c) Certificate of Service.
The demanding party, upon serving requests for admission, must file a
certificate of service. The responding party must also file a certificate of
service upon serving answers or objections.
(d) Alternative Methods of Service.
If all parties agree, requests and answers or objections may be served by
e-mail or fax.
(e) Limitations.
(1) The number of requests for admissions served in any case may be
limited by mutual agreement of the parties or by court order.
(2) If the responding party objects to requests for admissions on the
basis that the number served is excessive, the burden is on the
propounding party to demonstrate that the number of requests is
necessary and proportional to the needs of the case.
(3) Any unresolved objections will be resolved by the court on
appropriate motion filed in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 36(a)(6). Such motion shall be considered a "Discovery
Motion" subject to the pre-filing requirements of NECivR 7.1(j).
