DISCOVERY MOTIONS
U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina
Text
Discovery motions filed by a defendant who is represented by counsel must include a statement that counsel has fully reviewed the government's case file before bringing the motion or a statement that such file is not available for counsel's review. The filing of a discovery motion which does not include such certification may cause the Court to deny the motion, to disapprove payment to court-appointed counsel in regard to a motion made unnecessary by examination of the file, or to impose other sanctions under LCrR57.3 in the discretion of the Court.
