Removal from case - documents due
If a lawyer submitted a Request for Documents and later removes them-self from the case is the defendant still required to answer in the allotted time.

A timely response is still due. If it was your attorney that withdrew, and you are the one that needs to respond, you might want to contact the other side and ask for an extension. Failure to timely respond can result in the party waiving any right to object to the questions asked.

While a lawyer may serve a discovery request, that request is made on behalf of the lawyer's client. So long as the client is still a party to the litigation, a timely response is still required.

Yes. The discovery procedure was filed on the behalf of the other party, with the attorney representing the other party. All of the applicable rules of discovery will still apply. I would suggest to prepare a Response and submit on time. Thank you and good luck.
