INTERROGATORIES

(a) Answers. When responding to interrogatories, the responding party must, as a part of the response, set forth immediately preceding the response, the interrogatory with respect to which response is made. (b) Number of Interrogatories. Unless otherwise provided in a case management or other order, interrogatories pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 33 shall be limited to twenty-five (25) such interrogatories.

Subparts of a question shall be counted as additional questions for 12 purposes of the overall number. Leave of court must be obtained to submit interrogatories in excess of twenty-five (25) in number. The twenty-five (25) interrogatories may be submitted in successive sets as long as the aggregate number does not exceed twenty-five (25). Requests for leave must include copies or the text of such requested additional interrogatories, along with a statement of counsel as to the necessity for such information, its relevance, or likelihood to lead to relevant information, and that it cannot be obtained from other sources.
