How long does a motion of discovery take for approval?

Answer:
There is no statutory timeframe for this action. If the trial is at a point where it is either already in session or it is contemplated to start imminently, the ruling on the motion should be pretty quickly forthcoming so as not to hinder the courts docket.
On the other hand, if it is a complicated motion, submitted far in advance of the trial, and covers a lot of legal ground and/or raises a lot of legal issues, then the court may need time to study and consider the request.
