the first place I would contact is the clerk of your district court . Some states provide forms for this and other legal issues. Some do not, which would require you to find the templates on line - and usually for a fee. There is a definite format to all court documents. One thing about a motion - you are asking the court to order the prosecution to give you information. You have to justify your reasons for wanting the information, and the court will decide if it has enough merit to make the order. I believe all docs submitted to the court must have a case number on top right hand side. So in order to start filing forms you have to have been arraigned.
There is a saying that a person who represents themselves in a court of law has a fool for a client. Consider contacting a lawyer who can walk WITH you through the legal maze, and who will know exactly how to fill and file all docs for the courts.

A discovery motion lets you know what evidence the other side has.

How do you do a motion to compell?
Any "motion" is a request to a court to take some action. Motions to compel occur in the "discovery" phase of a civil case when the parties are allowed to learn about each others positions. Discovery, in general, is intended to facilitate a trial on the facts, rather than by ambush. Discovery in a civil or criminal case is governed by rules of procedure. Among the parameters of the rules is the amount of time within which the non-propounding party has to respond to the discovery request(s) of the propounding party. The discovery can be in the form of interrogatories (written questions), or a request for production of documents. While there are other forms of discovery, these two best illustrate the function of a motion to compel. In short, if the discovery is not provided within the requisite amount of time, or objections to the discovery not timely served within that time, the proponent of the discovery may file a motion to compel. This is a request to the court to require the recipient of the discovery to furnish it to the proponent. An order compelling the discovery generally results from the motion, which gives the party to whom the discovery was sent some additional, usually shorter, amount of time to comply. If there is no compliance with the order, further sanctions can ensue if requested.
Why cant you get a copy of your motion of discovery?
