Local Rules
LR26.3. Discovery Materials Offered in Evidence as Exhibit
Except as provided by this rule, discovery materials, including disclosure of
expert testimony, shall not be filed with the court. The party serving the
discovery materials or taking the deposition shall retain the original and be
custodian of it. The court, on its own motion, on motion of any party, or on
application by a non-party, may require the filing of any discovery materials or may
make provisions for a person to obtain a copy at that person’s own expense.
Where discovery materials are offered into evidence as an exhibit, the
attorney producing them will retain them unless the court orders them deposited with
the clerk. Where the court orders them deposited, they will be treated as
exhibits subject to the provisions of LR79.1.
