Discovery response clock is stated

Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(2) is modeled as a simplified response clock from a service event.

service event+response days\text{service event}+\text{response days}

Example discovery service

Interrogatories are served on July 1, 2026. The model uses 30 days after service.

days=30\text{days}=30

The service date governs the due date

The stated response clock is 30 days after service. The recomputed due date is July 31, 2026 with delta 0.

days=30,delta=0\text{days}=30,\quad \text{delta}=0

Diagram note

The diagram shows the discovery response clock as a docket trace. Any on_time or late row text is a toy delta label only, not a timely or untimely filing conclusion.

Jurisdiction: US; as of 2026-06-24; not legal advice; Code encodes the stated-rule interpretation.
