R.I. Traffic Trib. R. P. 11

(a) Defendant's Statements. Police

reports of examinations and tests and statements showing that the defendant has been

advised of the defendant's rights shall be made available to the defendant upon

written request; the attorney or prosecuting officer for the state, city, town, or agency

shall permit the defendant to inspect and copy or photograph said reports and

statements.

(b) Other Books, Papers, Documents, Tangible Objects, or Places. Upon

motion of the defendant, the court may order the attorney for the state or prosecuting

officer to permit the defendant to inspect and copy or photograph books, papers,

documents, photographs, tangible objects, buildings or places, or copies or portions

thereof which are within the possession, custody or control of the state, city, town or

agency upon a showing of materiality to the preparation of the defendant's defense

and that the request is reasonable.

(c) Discovery by the State. If the court grants relief sought by the defendant

under subdivision (b) of this rule, it may, upon motion of the state, city, town, or

agency, condition its order by requiring that the defendant permit the state, city,

town, or agency, to inspect and copy or photograph scientific or medical reports,

books, papers, documents, tangible objects, or copies or portions thereof, which the

defendant intends to produce at the trial and which are within the defendant's

possession, custody, or control, upon a showing of materiality to the case and that

the request is reasonable.

(d) Protective Orders. Upon a sufficient showing, the court may at any time

order that the discovery or inspection be denied, restricted or deferred, or make such

other order as is appropriate.

(e) Time of Motions. A motion or written request under this rule shall be made

only within fourteen (14) days after the first appearance or at such reasonable later

time as the court may permit. The motion shall include all relief sought under this

rule. A subsequent motion may be made only upon a showing of cause why such

motion would be in the interest of justice.

(f) Continuing Duty to Disclose; Failure to Comply; Motion to Compel.

(1) Continuing Duty to Disclose. If, subsequent to compliance with an order

issued pursuant to this rule, and prior to or during trial, a party discovers additional

material previously requested or ordered which is subject to discovery or inspection

under the rule, the party shall promptly notify the other party's attorney, the self-represented litigant, or the court of the existence of the additional material.

(2) Failure to Comply. If at any time during the course of the proceeding it is

brought to the attention of the court that a party has failed to comply with this rule,

the court may on motion order such party to permit the discovery or inspection of

materials not previously disclosed, grant a continuance, or prohibit the party from

introducing in evidence the material not disclosed, or it may enter such other order

as it deems just under the circumstances.
