However, generally speaking, it appears the plaintiff served you with discovery, which is basically questions that you need to answer. A party to a case, including you, can serve legal questions like interrogatories, production request, admissions request and the like directed to the other party. Once you receive them, you must either respond within 30 days or make objections within the saem period. If you fail to respond, the other party can seek a motion to compel or a motion to deem admissions admitted. If you lose at such a hearing, you may subject yourself to several sanctions, such as monetary sanctions or in the worst case, have your answer striken. That means, you may ultimately get a default judgment entered against you. As such, it is very important that you respond to the dicovery request before the hearing date. You should really consider consulting with an attorney to help you.
