D.S.C. Local Civ. Rule 7.04
Supporting Memoranda
All motions made other than in a hearing or trial or to
compel discovery shall be timely filed with an accompanying supporting memorandum that shall
be filed and made part of the public record. However, unless otherwise directed by the court, a
supporting memorandum is not required if a full explanation of the motion as set forth in Local
Civ. Rule 7.05 (D.S.C.) is contained within the motion and a memorandum would serve no
useful purpose. Where appropriate, motions shall be accompanied by affidavits or other
supporting documents.
Any motion to compel discovery shall set forth the grounds for the motion, including a
statement explaining why the discovery should be had within the context of the action (where the
motion challenges objections) or the relevant dates of service and facts demonstrating
noncompliance or supporting a challenge to the sufficiency of the response. Legal authorities
need not be included in the statement unless unusual legal issues are present or a privilege has
been asserted. Relevant portions of the discovery material shall be filed with the motion. See
Local Civ. Rules 5.01, 37 (D.S.C.).

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
