Due to the considerable cost to the parties of furnishing discovery materials, and the serious problems encountered with storage, this Court adopts the following procedure with regard to the non-filing of discovery materials with the Court:
1. Interrogatories under Rule 33, Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, and the answers thereto, Requests for Production or Inspection under Rule 34, Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, Requests for Admissions under Rule 36, Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, and responses thereto, and depositions under Rules 30 and 31, Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, shall be served upon other counsel or parties, but shall not be filed with the Court. The party responsible for service of the discovery material shall retain the original and become the custodian. 2. If relief is sought under Rules 26(d) or 37, Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, concerning any interrogatories, requests for production or inspection, request for admissions, answers to interrogatories or responses to requests for admissions, copies of the portions of the interrogatories, requests, answers or responses in dispute shall be filed with the Court contemporaneously with any motion filed under said Rules. 3. If interrogatories, requests, answers, responses or depositions are to be used at trial or are necessary to a pre-trial motion which might result in a final order on any issue, the portions to be used shall be considered an exhibit and filed with the Clerk at the outset of the trial or at the filing of the motion insofar as their use can be reasonably anticipated. 4. When documentation of discovery not previously in the record is needed for appeal purposes, upon an application and order of the Court, or by stipulation of counsel, the necessary discovery papers shall be filed with the Clerk.
