Which FRCP governs requests for production of documents during discovery?

Answer

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34 governs requests for production of documents and electronically stored information during discovery. Fed. R. Civ. P. 34

It addresses:

  • The scope and content of production requests;
  • Requests for documents, ESI, tangible things, and property inspections;
  • The responding party’s 30-day response deadline;
  • Specificity requirements for objections;
  • Production formats and organization; and
  • Motions to compel under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a).

Rule 34 discovery remains subject to the general scope and proportionality requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1).[1]
