"An objection must state whether any responsive materials are being withheld on the basis of that objection."
I've always hated the object-and-answer-anyway process that left you unsure what exactly the answer meant. |

REALLY pisses off opposing counsel. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3058132&forum_id=2#29286277) |

Still doesn't provide any clear cut answers and will just lead to lots of reframed bellyaching. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3058132&forum_id=2#29286219) |

Date: December 1st, 2015 8:23 PM Author: Ivory Senate Not perfect, but better than before.
The proportionality stuff in Rule 26 makes sense, but which federal judge wasn't already doing that?
Service time was cut from 120 days to 90. Should be more like 30 or 45. It's usually just plaintiffs fucking around and playing games after that. If you're really having trouble serving a defendant, you can always get an extension. |

Date: December 1st, 2015 8:40 PM Author: Ivory Senate I appreciate the concern, but I haven't had too many cases where that's a problem.
You think 90 days is about right? |
