Judicial Survey Questions

DLC Q18: Under what circumstances will you consider emergency motions regarding discovery matters?

DLC A18: I am most likely to consider an emergency motion where the dispute concerns an event that is scheduled to occur imminently, or where it is necessary to resolve the discovery matter first so that other contemplated discovery can take place, e.g., where a party claims they must first obtain certain records before being able to depose a particular person.
