CIVIL ACTION NO.             DEFENDANT MOTION OF DEFENDANT REQUESTING A RULE OF COURT ON PARTICULAR ANSWERS REQUIRED BY THE COMPLAINT AND DISCOVERY FILED HEREIN AS TO WHETHER RESPONSES THERETO MAY TEND TO INCRIMINATE THE DEFENDANT COMES NOW the Defendant,       , and files this his/her Motion Requesting a Rule of Court on Particular Answers Required by the Complaint and Discovery Filed Herein as to Whether Responses Thereto May Tend to Incriminate the Defendant, on the following ground: 1. The factual basis of this lawsuit recently was presented in support of a criminal indictment against this Defendant sought from the Grand Jury of       County, Mississippi. 2. As such, responding to any factual allegation either in the Complaint, Interrogatories, Request for Admissions and/or Request for Production of Documents may tend to incriminate this Defendant in violation of his/her rights secured under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Section 26 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890. 3. The Mississippi Supreme Court has directed in the case State v. Myers, 146 So.2d 334 (Miss. 1962) that the proper way to raise a self - incrimination defense to responding to a complaint or discovery in a civil action is by way of objecting to answering the specific allegations in the complaint and/or discover and following up these objections with a motion, as here, requesting a rule of this Court as to whether the responses to the allegations objected to in the Complaint, and discovery may tend to incriminate this Defendant. WHEREFORE, Defendant prays that this Court enter an Order protecting him from having to respond to all allegations of the Complaint objected to by this Defendant and all discovery requests on the grounds that responding thereto may tend to incriminate this Defendant.
