193.7. Production of Documents Self-Authenticating
A party's production of a document in response to written discovery authenticates the document for use against that party in any pretrial proceeding or at trial unless--within ten days or a longer or shorter time ordered by the court, after the producing party has actual notice that the document will be used--the party objects to the authenticity of the document, or any part of it, stating the specific basis for objection. An objection must be either on the record or in writing and must have a good faith factual and legal basis. An objection made to the authenticity of only part of a document does not affect the authenticity of the remainder. If objection is made, the party attempting to use the document should be given a reasonable opportunity to establish its authenticity.
