D.S.C. Local Civ. Rule 37.01

(A) Timeliness of Motions. Motions to compel discovery must be filed within

twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the discovery response to which the

motion to compel is directed or, where no response has been received,

within twenty-one (21) days after the response was due. If counsel are

actively engaged in attempts to resolve the discovery dispute, they may

agree to extend the time to comply with the discovery request so long as the

extension does not place the due date beyond thirty (30) days before the

deadline for completion of discovery as set by the scheduling order. See

also Local Civ. Rule 29.01 (D.S.C.) (Modifications of Discovery

Procedure). This extension will automatically extend the deadline for the

motion to compel by an equal amount of time. The extension shall be

confirmed in writing. In the event a later motion to compel is filed, the

correspondence confirming the extension shall be attached.

(B) Memoranda and Hearings. Motions to compel discovery shall be filed in

compliance with Local Civ. Rule 7.04 (D.S.C.). The relevant discovery

requests and responses, if any, shall be filed as supporting documentation.

Motions to compel may be heard at the discretion of the court.
