Paralegal

Category - Judgement

Cameron is a paralegal for Roland, who is representing a plaintiff in a civil rights lawsuit in federal court. The opposing party has served interrogatories, and Roland has prepared draft answers to the interrogatories. After discussing the draft answers with the client, Roland gives the draft answers to Cameron and instructs her to prepare a final draft, double-check the references to the documents mentioned, and add the Bates ranges for each document referenced. As she is working on the draft answers, Cameron notices that the answer to Interrogatory No. 12 states an objection on the grounds that the interrogatory is irrelevant and designed to harass the plaintiff and/or delay the litigation. If Cameron thinks that a party cannot object to an interrogatory, is she correct?
  1. Yes, because Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure prohibits objections.
  2. Yes, because, under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, only defendants can object to interrogatories.
  3. No, because Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits objections.
  4. No, because objections to interrogatories are permitted under the Federal Rules of Evidence.
Explanation
Answer: C - No, because Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits objections. Under Rule 33(b)(4), the objection to Interrogatory No. 12 is permitted.
