The parties shall not tender to the clerk for filing the following discovery instruments:

Written interrogatories or responses thereto. Demands for production of documents or other things. Requests for permission to enter upon land of a party. Requests for admissions or responses thereto. Requests for physical or mental examinations of a party or person in custody or under legal control of a party (other than those referenced in 12 O.S., § 3235).

The Court Clerk shall not accept for filing any of the above discovery instruments, but is directed to return them to the party tendering them. Further, the party to whom the discovery instruments are returned shall be responsible for the postage associated with returning said discovery instruments.

Should a party desire to preserve a record of the time such discovery procedures were initiated, he/she may file a notice of submission of the same. Such notice will contain a brief description of the type of discovery initiated, the date it was initiated and the method by which it was transmitted to the opposing party.

Motions for an order compelling discovery must contain a statement by counsel for the moving party that after personal consultation with opposing counsel and reasonable efforts to do so, counsel for the moving party has been unable to make discovery of the matter in question by agreement with opposing counsel.

In all instances where the Court must conduct a hearing regarding a discovery response, the non-prevailing party will be required to pay all costs and expenses associated with said hearing pursuant to 12 O.S., § 3237.
