The request may, without leave of court, be served upon the plaintiff after commencement of the action and upon any other party with or after service of the summons upon that party. The request shall set forth the items to be inspected, which must be described with reasonable particularity, and it shall also specify a reasonable date, time, place and manner for making the inspection.
The party upon whom the request is served shall serve a written response within fifteen (15) days after the service of the request, unless the court fixed a different term. The response shall state, with respect to each item designated in the request, that inspection will be permitted as requested, unless the request is objected to, in which event the reasons for objection shall be stated. The party submitting the request may move for an order under Rule 34.1 with respect to any objection to or other failure to respond to the request of any part thereof, or any failure to permit objection as requested.
The documents shall be produced just as they are kept in the ordinary course of business, the party producing them being allowed only to organize and identify them so that they correspond with the item designated in the request.
