Uta Rule 34

A request for production is a discovery device used to gain access to documents, electronic data, and physical items held by an opposing party in a legal matter. The aim is to gain insight into any relevant evidence that the opposing party holds.

In a civil action, a request for admission is a discovery device that allows one party to request that another party admit or deny the truth of a statement under oath. If admitted, the statement is considered to be true for all purposes of the current trial.

Federal Rule 33 limits interrogatories to twenty-five per party rather than per side.

Requests for production may be used to inspect and copy documents or tangible items held by another party. Although these requests are most commonly used to obtain copies of documents, they can also be used to test, measure, photograph, etc., any type of physical evidence in the other party's possession or control.

Requests for the Production of Documents are a discovery device used by a party to enable the individual to learn the facts that are the basis for, or support, a pleading with which he or she has been served by the opposing party.These documents might also be evidence in a hearing or a trial.

Update: The Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are now in effect.At the same time, unlike the new limits to Rule 33 interrogatories and Rule 36 requests for admission, the amendments do not limit the number of Rule 34 requests for production.

Unlike responses to interrogatories and unlike state practice, the responses to document requests do not have to be verified. Requests for Admissions are governed by Rule 36, which operates in a similar manner as Requests for Admissions under state law.
