As amended through August 22, 2024
Rule 21 - Depositions and Discovery Papers Not to be Filed
(a) Unless otherwise directed by the court, depositions, interrogatories and answers thereto, and other discovery requests and answers and admissions thereto shall not be filed with the clerk. A single page "Notice of Service" of the foregoing papers on opposing counsel or party shall be filed with the clerk for insertion in the case file. Filing the notice of taking deposition required by Rule 30(b)(1), Rules of Civil Procedure, will satisfy this requirement with respect to depositions.
(b) Original depositions, answers to interrogatories, and answers and responses to other discovery requests shall be retained by the party requesting and receiving same.
(c) When discovery is read into evidence, counsel proffering same shall submit to the court the original or a photocopy of the portion read, which shall be marked and admitted in evidence as the court's exhibit for the purpose of having a complete and accurate record on appeal. The court's exhibit shall not be used by the jury during deliberations or any other time except upon stipulation of counsel or upon motion of any party where otherwise permitted by law or the rules of evidence.
