Nev. R. Civ. P. 29

As amended through October 9, 2024

Rule 29 - Stipulations About Discovery Procedure

Unless the court orders otherwise, the parties may stipulate that:

(a) a deposition may be taken before any person, at any time or place, on any notice, and in the manner specified-in which event it may be used in the same way as any other deposition; and

(b) other procedures governing or limiting discovery be modified-but a stipulation extending the time for any form of discovery must have court approval if it would interfere with the time set for completing discovery, for hearing a motion, or for trial.

Last amended effective 1/1/2005; amended effective 3/1/2019.

Drafter's Note

2004 Amendment

The rule is amended to conform to the federal rule, which allows parties to stipulate to certain procedural waivers and limitations in discovery, while protecting against a stipulation that is contrary to court mandated discovery deadlines, such as a stipulation to waive early disclosure under Rule 16.1. The amended rule requires that stipulations to extend the time for responses to discovery provided in Rules 33, 34, and 36 may be made only with the court's approval if the extension would interfere with times set for completing discovery, hearing a motion, or trial.
