(a) Filing. Except in connection with motions to compel production, neither requests for
production nor responses or objections thereto shall be filed with the Court.
(b) Objections. Each objection and the grounds therefor shall be stated separately under each
individual request. When an objection is made to any request, or sub-part thereof, it shall
state with specificity all grounds upon which the objecting party relies. Any ground not
stated in an objection shall be deemed waived. The requirement that the grounds for
objecting be stated with specificity under each individual request precludes the consideration
of any generic general objections.
Effective 12/1/19: §(b) deleted and §(c) redesignated as (b). Effective 12/1/18: §(c) amended. Effective 12/1/11: The
numerical references in this rule were altered as part of the restyling of numerical references throughout the Local Rules.
