Re: Ca. Superior court

As attorney Hoffman said, don't file discovery requests or responses with the court. You will need to retain the originals of discovery requests that you serve, for responses you serve the original responses except for the original proof of service which you keep. If you are up against an attorney, you should assume you will receive a response consisting mostly of objections. You will then need to file and serve a motion to compel further responses, including the required meet-and-confer correspondence, all within the statutory time limits.
