Your criminal defense attorney should be able to provide you with a copy of the discovery in your case. If you do not have a criminal defense attorney, you should immediately hire one as this is the only way you will obtain the best possible result on your case.
Interrogatories are written questions sent by one party to another, which the responding party must answer under penalty of perjury.In addition, your responses must be verified, meaning that you must sign under penalty of perjury that your responses are true and correct (CCP § 2030.250).
You must answer each interrogatory separately and fully in writing under oath, unless you object to it. You must explain why you object. You must sign your answers and objections.
So, can you refuse to answer interrogatories? The answer is, no, you may not.That answer must either permit inspection of the requested information or object to the production of the information for a specific reason.
1 attorney answer You may be referring to a "certificate of discovery" or a "Rule 5.2 Certificate". If so, this is a document filed with the clerk of court attesting to the fact that "discovery" has been served on the opposing side.
To sanction a party failing to comply with discovery, the court can order attorney's fees, or they can order the fact you are seeking to establish as having been established for purposes of your case, because the other side will not respond to the discovery on this issue.
Your answers to the interrogatories should usually be short, clear, and direct and should answer only the question that is being asked. This is not the time to set out your entire case or defense to the other side. Take the time to make sure your answers are correct and truthful.
Serving discovery simply means sending your verified discovery responses to the opposing sides. "Service" can be done by mail, personal delivery and sometimes fax or email.
Make it a lead-off general objection. Object to anything that is not relevant to the subject matter (no longer the standard) or not likely to lead to admissible evidence (no longer the standard). Don't say if anything is being withheld on the basis of the objection. Use boilerplate wording from form files.
