2025 COMMITTEE NOTE
Fed. R. of Crim. P. 16(a)(1)(G) requires the court, by order or local rule, to set a time for
the disclosure of information regarding expert witnesses. A local rule setting those time
limits subject to contrary order of the court provides judges and attorneys with a
default rule that will apply without the need for entry of an order in every individual
case, while also providing the flexibility needed to set a different schedule for
disclosures when circumstances warrant.
