Rule 33. Interrogatories to Parties

 (a) In General.

 (1) Number. Unless
otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a party may serve on any other
party no more than 40 written interrogatories, including all discrete subparts.
Leave to serve additional interrogatories may be granted to the extent consistent
with Rule 26(b)(1) and (2).

 (2) Scope. An
interrogatory may relate to any matter that may be inquired into under Rule
26(b). An interrogatory is not objectionable merely because it asks for an
opinion or contention that relates to fact or the application of law to fact,
but the court may order that the interrogatory need not be answered until
designated discovery is complete, or until a pretrial conference or some other
time.

 (b) Answers and Objections.

 (1) Responding Party. The
interrogatories must be answered:

 (A) by the party to whom they are
directed; or

 (B) if that party is a public or
private corporation, a partnership, an association, a governmental agency, or
other entity, by any officer or agent, who must furnish the information
available to the party.

 (2) Time to Respond. The
responding party must serve its answers and any objections within 30 days after
being served with the interrogatories. A shorter or longer time may be
stipulated to under Rule 29 or be ordered by the court.

 (3) Answering Each Interrogatory. Each
interrogatory must be set out, and, to the extent it is not objected to, be
answered separately and fully in writing under oath.

 (4) Objections. The
grounds for objecting to an interrogatory must be stated with specificity. Any
ground not stated in a timely objection is waived unless the court, for good
cause, excuses the failure. The interrogating party may move for an order under
Rule 37(a) with respect to any objection to or other failure to answer an
interrogatory.

 (5) Signature. The
person who makes the answers must sign them, and the attorney who objects must
sign any objections.

 (c) Use. An answer to an
interrogatory may be used to the extent allowed by Nevada law of evidence.

 (d) Option to Produce Business Records. If
the answer to an interrogatory may be determined by examining, auditing,
compiling, abstracting, or summarizing a party’s business records (including
electronically stored information), and if the burden of deriving or
ascertaining the answer will be substantially the same for either party, the
responding party may answer by:

 (1) specifying the records that must be
reviewed, in sufficient detail to enable the interrogating party to locate and
identify them as readily as the responding party could; and

 (2) giving the interrogating party a
reasonable opportunity to examine and audit the records and to make copies,
compilations, abstracts, or summaries.
