REQUEST FOR ADMISSION

statement served on another party who must admit, deny, or object to the substance of the
statement. • Ordinarily, many requests for admission appear in one document. The admitted
statements, along with any statements not denied or objected to, will be treated by the court as
established and therefore do not have to be proved at trial. Fed. R. Civ. P. 36. — Abbr. RFA. —
