Disclosures pursuant to FR Civ P 26(a)(1), (2) and (3), depositions upon oral examination or written questions, notices of receipt of depositions, interrogatories, requests pursuant to FR Civ P 34, requests for admissions, and answers and responses thereto shall not be filed unless ordered or required under these Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Certificates of service of discovery materials shall be filed. Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered, the party taking a deposition or obtaining any material through discovery is responsible for its custody, preservation and delivery to the court if needed or ordered, and the responsibility shall not terminate upon dismissal of any party while the action is still pending. The custodial responsibility of the dismissed party may be discharged by stipulation of the parties to transfer the custody of the discovered material to one or more of the remaining parties. If for any reason a party or concerned citizen believes that any of the named documents should be filed, an ex parte request may be made that the document be filed, stating the reasons therefor. The court may also order filing sua sponte. If relief is sought under FR Civ P 26(c) or 37, copies of the relevant portions of disputed documents shall be filed with any motion. If the moving party under FR Civ P 56 or the opponent relies on discovery documents, copies of the pertinent parts shall be filed with the motion or opposition.

Except as otherwise provided in an order pursuant to FR Civ P 26(c), upon request of any party, and upon that party's agreement to pay the reasonable copying costs at the time of delivery, a party who produces documents pursuant to FR Civ P 33(d) or 34 shall provide copies of all or any specified part of the documents.
