UCCR 1.10
DISCOVERY DEADLINES AND PRACTICE
(A) All discovery must be completed within ninety days from service of an answer by the
applicable defendant. If the pleading is one to which no answer is required, either party
desiring discovery may timely move the court for an order scheduling discovery to extend
or shorten the time for discovery, according to the issues involved. If no such motion is
filed, then discovery shall be completed ninety days from completion of service of process
on all defendants.
(B) Additional discovery time may be allowed with leave of court upon written motion
setting forth good cause for the extension. Absent special circumstances the court will not
allow testimony at trial of an expert witness who was not designated as an expert witness
to all attorneys of record at least sixty days before trial.
(C) When responding to discovery requests, interrogatories, requests for production, and
requests for admission, the responding party shall, as part of the responses, set forth
immediately preceding the response the question or request to which such response is
given. Responses shall not be deemed to have been served without compliance with this
subdivision.
(D) No motion to compel shall be heard unless the moving party shall incorporate in the
motion a certificate that movant has conferred in good faith with the opposing attorney in
an effort to resolve the dispute and has been unable to do so. Motions to compel shall quote
verbatim each contested request, the specific objection to the request, the grounds for the
objection, and the reasons supporting the motion.
