# §134.213. Discovery.

- (a) **Motion.** A party may obtain discovery only upon motion, and for good cause shown.
- (b) **Forms.** The forms of discovery which a Judge can order under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section include requests for admissions, requests for production of documents, interrogatories, and depositions.
- (c) **Limitations.** Discovery may be limited in accordance with the terms of a protective order (see [§ 134.205](/cfr/13/134.205.md)). Further, privileged information and irrelevant issues or facts will not be subject to discovery.
- (d) **Disputes.** If a dispute should arise between the parties over a particular discovery request, the party seeking discovery may file and serve a motion to compel discovery. Discovery may be opposed on the grounds of harassment, needless embarrassment, irrelevance, undue burden or expense, privilege, or confidentiality.
