Filing Fee: There is no fee to file this paperwork.

This Packet is for:

• A person who would like to request evidence from the other party and either:

o The Judge authorized discovery (usually in a Trial Setting Order), or

o The parties just had their case management conference.

Unless otherwise limited by order of the court in accordance with these rules, the scope of

discovery is as follows: Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is

relevant to any party’s claims or defenses and proportional to the needs of the case, considering the

importance of the issues at stake in the action, the amount in controversy, the parties’ relative access

to relevant information, the parties’ resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving the

issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit.

Information within this scope of discovery need not be admissible in evidence to be discoverable.
