E.D. Wis. Civil L. R. 36
Requests for Admission
(a) Limitation on Requests for Admission.
(1) Any party may serve upon any other party no more than 50 written
requests for admission. The 50 permissible requests for admission may not be
expanded by the creative use of subparts.
(2) For the purpose of computing the number of requests for admission
served, requests for admission relating to the genuineness of any described
documents do not count toward the 50 request for admission limit.
(3) More than 50 requests for admission may be served on a party only
if that party agrees in writing or the Court so orders. A party seeking to serve
more than 50 requests for admission may move the Court for permission only
after seeking the agreement of the party on whom the additional requests for
admission would be served. If a party desires to serve additional requests for
admission, the party must promptly consult with the party to whom the
additional requests for admission would be propounded and attempt to reach
written stipulation as to a reasonable number of additional requests for
admission. The stipulation allowing additional requests for admission to be
served should not be filed with the Court except in connection with a motion to
compel answers. If a stipulation cannot be reached, the party seeking to serve
additional requests for admission may move the Court for permission to serve
additional requests for admission.
(4) The Court will not compel a party to answer any requests for
admission served in violation of this rule.
(b) Answering Requests for Admission. A response or an objection to a
request for admission must reproduce the request to which it refers.
