requests for production shall file an objection in

accordance with subsection (f) of this section.

(f) A party who objects to any request or portion

of a request shall: (1) set forth the request

the objection; and (3) state whether any responsive materials are being withheld on the basis of

the stated objection. Objections shall be governed

by the provisions of Sections 13-2 through 13-5,

signed by the attorney or self-represented party

making them and filed with the court.

(g) To the extent a party withholds any responsive material based on an assertion of a claim of

forth: (1) the date of the objection; (2) the name

of the party who filed the objection and to whom

the objection was addressed; (3) the date, time

and place of any conference held to resolve the

differences; and (4) the names of all conference

participants. If no conference has been held, the

of request for production may move for an order
