FAQ
(a) Computation of time The time in which any act provided by these rules is to be performed is computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or other legal holiday, and then it is also excluded.
Discovery ends 30 days before trial (the cutoff date). That means, at the very latest anything you ask for must be due 30 days before your trial. At the latest, you need to serve your requests 60 days before your trial date (65 if you serve by mail).
How do I know what my deadline is? If you were personally served with the request, meaning someone delivered them directly to you, you will have 30 days. If you received the request in the mail, and both you and the sender are in California, you have 35 days from the day of mailing to respond.
The deadline for finishing discovery (the discovery cutoff) is 30 days before the original date set for a trial unless the parties have agreed or the court has ordered to extend the time. You need all the responses by this date.
“Calendar days” include weekends and holidays, but if the final day lands on a weekend or holiday, it is pushed back to the previous court day. Using the June 18 hearing date, the sixteenth court day before the hearing would be May 24.
Timeframe for discovery If you are the plaintiff, you can begin discovery 10 days after you serve the first papers in the case or anytime after the defendant files a response. If you are the defendant, you may begin discovery as soon as the case is filed.
