Format and Service of Discovery Requests

Upon request, which shall not be unreasonably denied, the party serving discovery requests pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 33, 34, or 36, shall provide a copy of the discovery request(s) to the responding party in an electronic format sufficient to avoid the necessity of re-typing each interrogatory or request (e.g., a Word document, a searchable PDF). This requirement does not apply to pro se parties. The party answering, responding, or objecting to written interrogatories or requests shall quote each interrogatory or request in full immediately preceding the statement of any answer, response, or objection thereto.
