Filing Discovery

N.D.N.Y. Local Rule 26.2

Parties shall not file notices to take depositions, transcripts of depositions, interrogatories, requests for documents, requests for admissions, disclosures, and answers and responses to these notices and requests unless the Court orders otherwise; provided, however, that a party shall file as an exhibit any discovery material to support any motion, including a motion to compel or for summary judgment. A party shall include with any motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 the discovery materials to which the motion relates if the parties have not previously filed those materials with the Court. Even if the Court has requested that trial exhibits be provided in electronic format, including deposition transcripts or other discovery, they should not be filed on the docket. All trial exhibits requested electronically shall be pre-marked and provided in electronic format via USB drive or CD/DVD.
