9013-1(i)(2):  Motions: EVIDENTIARY OBJECTIONS

LBR 9013-1(i)(2) provides the procedure for a party to file evidentiary objections to testimony that is contained in a declaration filed in support of documents in a particular proceeding. 

An evidentiary objection must comply with all of these requirements:

  • it must be filed and served as a separate document -- this means it must have its own caption page and must be filed using the related event code;
  • it must cite the specific Federal Rule of Evidence (FRE) upon which the objection is based.  See link below to FRE; and
  • it must be filed concurrent with filing a response or a reply.

If the party who objects to testimony does not comply with these requirements, the court may deem the objections waived.
