2025 COMMITTEE NOTE

Fed. R. of Crim. P. 16(a)(1)(G) requires the court, by order or local rule, to set a time for

the disclosure of information regarding expert witnesses. A local rule setting those time

limits subject to contrary order of the court provides judges and attorneys with a

default rule that will apply without the need for entry of an order in every individual

case, while also providing the flexibility needed to set a different schedule for

disclosures when circumstances warrant.
