NC DISCOVERY — KEY RULES

  • In NC, discovery is largely automatic under G.S. 15A-903 — file this motion to memorialize the request and establish the record
  • Discovery must be requested in writing; State has 15 days to respond
  • Brady/Giglio material must be disclosed regardless of request
  • If State fails to disclose, a motion to suppress or sanctions is available under G.S. 15A-910
  • File early — discovery disputes resolved before trial are less disruptive
  • Electronic surveillance requires separate notice under G.S. 15A-903(a)(3)
