Reporter's Notes-2022 Amendment

Rule 29 is amended to conform to concurrent changes in Rule 5 regarding service of discovery materials. Under new Rule 5(b)(2)(D), discovery between electronic filers must be made by using the electronic filing system unless the parties consent to service by another method such as through email or file sharing.
