________________ DEFENDANT
DEFENDANT’S FIRST REQUEST FOR
PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS TO PLAINTIFF
Pursuant to Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure, you are hereby served with the following
request for production of documents. Production of the items requested herein shall be at the
offices of Defendant's counsel, {Attorney}, {Attorney address}, at 10:00 a.m. on the 30th day

place, you may serve the undersigned with legible copies of any of the documents designated
herein, on or before such date; provided, however, that such service of copies of less than all of

possession which you have not served at the time and place requested.
Renewal of all previously asserted objections and affirmative defenses: The service
of these discovery requests should not in any manner be interpreted as a waiver or an
abandonment of Defendant’s previously-asserted objections and affirmative defenses, including

Defendant hereby expressly renews all earlier objections and affirmative defenses.
