Colorado — Centennial

Planning discovery from the loaded corpus.

Stated from the loaded corpus only. Discovery rule text beyond the order-carried portions (instruments, presumptive limits, sanctions) lives in the vendor-published C.R.C.P. — named here, never paraphrased into parameters.

TrialVector is software — not a lawyer, not a law firm, and not a substitute for one. It provides legal information of a general nature, not legal advice; it prepares no documents for you in Colorado today; and it forms no attorney-client relationship.

Before the Case Management Order: the cap is order-carried

"prior to issuance of the Case Management Order shall not exceed the limitations established by C.R.C.P. 26(b)(2)"

C.R.C.P. 26(d) (as printed in Rule Change 2024(03))

The 26(b)(2) limits themselves are NOT printed in any loaded order — the cap is stated, the numbers stay at the vendor boundary.

The clocks that pace a discovery dispute

21d — Response to a motion (general) C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-15(1)(b) (as printed in Rule Change 2024(03))
14d — Response to a motion filed 42 days or less before trial C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-15(1)(b) (as printed in Rule Change 2024(03))
7d — Reply brief (general) C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-15(1)(c) (as printed in Rule Change 2024(03))
14d — Reply brief on a Rule 56 motion C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-15(1)(c) (as printed in Rule Change 2024(03))

Raw counts with the Rule-6 boundary — the full registry is the deadline tool.

What a plan must respect: the privilege catalog

Spousal privilege

"a husband shall not be examined for or against his wife without her consent nor a wife for or against her husband without his consent"

C.R.S. § 13-90-107(1)(a)(I)

Attorney-client privilege — EXTENDED TO LICENSED LEGAL PARAPROFESSIONALS

"An attorney or licensed legal paraprofessional shall not be examined without the consent of the attorney's or licensed legal paraprofessional's client as to any communication made by the client"

C.R.S. § 13-90-107(1)(b)

THE LLP CATCH: the privilege statute itself names the licensed legal paraprofessional — statutory privilege parity for Colorado's LLP program, in the loaded text.

Physician-patient privilege

"A physician, surgeon, or registered professional nurse duly authorized to practice his or her profession pursuant to the laws of this state or any other state shall not be examined without the consent"

C.R.S. § 13-90-107(1)(d)
