This document can be used in civil and criminal cases, and can be requested by either party. Types of New Jersey Order Extending Discovery include Orders extending Time for Discovery, Orders extending Time for the Taking of Depositions, and Orders extending Time for the Production of Documents. The order typically sets a new deadline for when the discovery process must be completed, and is signed by a judge or magistrate.
