Q: I am Pro se.Rule 213 Witness List. 1) what do I do if I do not have a witnesses address at the time my documents r do?
2) what do if a witness fears the other side and does not what them to have her address or phone#? 3) I have a witness that is giving me documents only and will not be appearing in court due to health reasons and lives out of state, do I need to state something concerning that under that persons name?
A: You should file your witness list on a timely basis and under the witness' name put 'Investigation Continues'. When you get the address then amend your witness list. If you do not want to disclose an address for a witness, file a motion and request the court that the address not be disclosed for your reasons stated. The documents from the witness who cannot appear may not be allowed to be presented by the court. It depends what they are.
