What is the standard time frame to respond to discovery requests, subject to extension by agreement?

• A. 30 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 15 days
• D. 45 days

Answer: (A)

The standard time to respond to discovery requests is 30 days after service. This applies to common discovery tools like interrogatories, requests for production of documents, and requests for admissions. The clock can be extended if the parties stipulate an extension or if the court orders a different deadline. Also, if the discovery request is served by mail, an extra three days are added to the 30-day period.
