ITEM 6.07 | PRODUCTION FOR INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS (FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 34)
The party on whom the request is served is required to respond, either agreeing to the request and producing the document or item or stating the reasons for objection to production. The requesting party may seek a court order requiring production.
Document discovery is limited to parties and to items in their possession or control. The requesting party's legal right to obtain possession is the central inquiry, and the requested party may not avoid discovery simply by divesting himself of possession. Moreover, documents in the possession of nonparties may only be discovered by serving a subpoena on the non-party. See Request for Subpoenas, P. 21. A subpoena for the testimony of a deponent (witness) may also include a request for the deponent to produce documents at the deposition.
Note: subpoenas are discussed later, including subpoenas to non-parties regarding documents when the non-parties are not to be deposed.
Local Rule 34 limits the number of document requests to 25.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
