Steps Of The Discovery Process. There are four key actions in the discovery process which include interrogatories, request for documents, request for admissions, and depositions.
For a certificate of service for discovery papers, such as written discovery requests and responses, see Form – Certificate of Service (Discovery). The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure state that no certificate of service is required when a paper is served by filing it with the court's electronic-filing (ECF) system.
The person who served the documents must complete the Proof of Service. A party to the action cannot serve the documents. The Proof of Service should be typed or printed. If you have Internet access, a fillable version of this proof of service form is available at urts.ca/forms.htm.
A party or other person may serve documents electronically directly, by an agent, or through a designated electronic filing service provider.
An example of a Proof of Service is a signed declaration from the person who served the documents, stating the name of the person who was served and the date, time, and manner of service. A Proof of Service may also include an affidavit, which is a sworn statement that the documents were properly served.
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.
You can use Proof of Service by First Class Mail (form POS-030). It helps if you fill in the top part of the form with the case and court information. Your server can then fill in the information about how, when, and where they served the papers. Your server must then sign the form.
