Under Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may serve on another party “no more than 25 interrogatories, including all discrete subparts.” Patty is a paralegal at a large law firm and is working with Sharon, a senior partner, and Jill, an associate, on a commercial-litigation case. Sharon asked Jill to draft interrogatories that will be served on the opposing party. Jill drafts 28 interrogatories and asks Patty to proofread and prepare a final draft. Patty prepares the final draft, but tells Jill the total number of interrogatories exceeds the number permitted under Rule 33. Jill then revises the interrogatories by making some interrogatories subparts of other interrogatories, so that the total number of interrogatories is 25, excluding subparts. From the options listed below, what is Patty’s best approach to this situation?
