D.N.M.LR-Civ. 26.1

(a) Requirements of Serving Party.

(1) Space to Respond. When a party serves discovery requests (interrogatories,

requests for production, and requests for admissions) upon any other party

electronically, such discovery requests must be in a form that allows the recipient

to copy or transfer the text of the document into the written response, or permits

the written response to be typed directly into the document, and thus avoids the

need to retype the text. If the serving party elects not to use the electronic form, the

discovery requests must be prepared in such a fashion that sufficient space for

insertion of the written responses is provided after each interrogatory/request or

sub-part thereof.

(2) Numbering. Regardless of the number of sets, a party must sequentially number

all interrogatories, requests for production, or requests for admissions. For

example, the first set of interrogatories is numbered 1-10; the same party's second

set of interrogatories is numbered 11-20, etc.

(b) Requirements of Responding Party. The party answering, responding or objecting

to a discovery request must either set forth the answer, response or objection in the

space provided or quote fully each interrogatory or request before any answer,

response or objection.
