Responding to interrogatories in United States District Court

by Stan Burman

Responding to interrogatories in United States District Court is the topic of this blog post.

Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governs written interrogatories in Federal Court.

The responses to the interrogatories must be served on the propounding party and all other parties to the action within 30 days after service unless a stipulation has been entered into or a court order has been obtained granting an extension of time.  The deadline for the responses is extended to 33 days if the interrogatories were served by mail.

Rule 33(b)(3) states that, “Each interrogatory must, to the extent it is not objected to, be answered separately and fully in writing under oath.”

Any objections to any particular interrogatory must be stated with specificity as grounds for objection that are not stated in a timely fashion will be waived unless otherwise ordered by the court on a showing of good cause. See Rule 33(b)(4).

If you are the responding party I want to emphasize that the Federal courts in particular are notoriously intolerant of generic or “boilerplate” objections that are interposed without any supporting facts.  Examples include “vague and ambiguous” where no details are provided as to why the interrogatory is vague and ambiguous. The use of boilerplate objections with no supporting facts may result in the imposition of significant monetary sanctions as well as waiver of the objections.

The responses must be signed under oath and the attorney must sign any response that contains any objections.

Attorneys or parties who would like to view a portion of a sample 10 page responses to interrogatories in United States District Court under Rule 33 containing brief instructions for responding, a generic verification under oath with notary acknowledgment for use in most states, a specific verification for California only, and proof of service by mail sold by the author can use the link shown below.
