Plaintiff's Document Requests in Defendant Angelo Wilson’s Notice of Deposition
Request #1
Copies of each and every COMMUNICATION between Defendant Angelo Wilson and Erika
Markham relating to Plaintiff’s tenancy at the SUBJECT PREMISES from 2008 to the present.
Defendant’s Response:
No production, or written or oral objection to the requested documents either prior to or at the
deposition.

PLAINTIFF'S SEPARATE STATEMENTPlaintiff’s Meet and Confer Effort and Reason to Compel Objection-free Production:
Objections to documents requested in a deposition notice are waived unless written objections are
served on the party noticing the deposition at least three (3) days before the deposition. CCP §
2025 .410(a), (b). By failing to object either prior to the deposition under C.C.P. § 2025.410, or during}
the deposition, generally to all the requests, or specifically or any particular request, all objections are
waived. Ev.C. § 912(a). This specifically includes claims of attorney-client privilege or work product]
protection. CCP § 2025.460(a). Because there was no response or objection to the document requests
in the original notice, you may not object to them now either. Scottsdale Ins. Co. v. Sup.Ct. (Spyglass
Homeowners Ass'n) (1997) 59 Cal.App. 4th 263, 273.
Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff's Meet and Confer Efforts:
As for your assertion that we have waived all objections, your position is contrary to the Code of
Civil Procedure Sec. 2025.410 which states, "Any party served with a deposition notice that does not
comply with Article 2 (commencing with Section 2025.210) waives any error or irregularity unless
that party promptly serves a written objection". The errors and irregularities are further defined in
CCP Sec, 2025.220 with paragraph 4 being relevant for our purposes, which states: "The
specification with reasonable particularity of any materials or category of materials, including any
electronically store information ..." By proceeding with the deposition and not providing a written
objection, the only objection we waived was for specificity of the materials or category of materials
stated in the deposition notice. All other objections may be made at the deposition. In fact, CCP Sec J
2025 .460 specifies that objections to the disclosure of attorney client privilege is "made during the
deposition". Since, the objection needs to be specific, it would require you to ask a question seeking
that information, You never asked any questions regarding the documents, so the privilege is
preserved.
You have confused CCP 2025.210 et al with CCP 2031.210 et al. You have not served a Request for
Production of Documents pursuant to CCP 2031.230. So, the case law that you cite and the statutes
you refer to are inapplicable to the Deposition Notice. If you care to withdraw your deposition
notice and issue a Request for Production of Documents pursuant to 2031210 et al., we will entertain
responding to such a request.” Martin Decl. 12, Ex. K Ms. Clifford’s August 14, 2014 letter and

THE DEPONENT: If she's asked me not to disclose her address to him, given that she's the object of
his lawsuit ~ /d., 30:12-15. See also:
A: I'm not at liberty to disclose that if my mother asked me not to disclose business of hers. It's my mother
asking me not to do it. If you want to ask my mother, you are entitled to do that. I don't know what her
business is... Jd. 27:79-23.
Plaintiff’s Post-Deposition Meet and Confer Process:
As you know, both Mr. Wilson and yourself have consistently declined to accept services of process
on behalf of Carrier Wilson, Erika Markham, or Shaun Markham in this matter.
As a result, we are compelled to obtained their residential addresses in other ways. One of these
ways is to subpoena the back records of Carrie Wilson and The Wilson Family Trust to uncover the
addresses associated with those various bank accounts. In his deposition, Mr. Wilson refused to
provide the name of that banking institution.
This letter requests confirmation that when volume 2 of Mr. Wilson’s depositor [sic] resumes, that
he provide substantive responses to that area of inquiry. Martin Decl. ¥ 12, Ex. K, Mr. Martin’s
August 11, 2014 Meet and Confer Letter.
Please note that you have not responded to my first meet and confer letter regarding the question I
posed to Mr. Wilson pertaining to the rent checks Mr. Wilson deposited into any bank account. Will
Mr. Wilson respond to those questions? /d., Mr. Martin’s August 12, 2014 Meet and Confer Letter.
Regarding the questions I posed to Mr. Wilson pertaining to the rent checks Mr. Wilson deposited
into any bank account--will Mr. Wilson respond to those questions without a court Order? /d., Mr.
Martin's August 14, 2014 Meet and Confer Letter.
In your various emails and letters in response to my meet and confer efforts, you addressed
only one of seven questions (see August 14 emails), in which you stated that you do not
consider Mr. Wilson's objections to the document requests waived. For some reason, you have
steadfastly refused - after 3 efforts on my part - to addressed the [sic] remain six questions I
posed.
~ 20 -
PLAINTIFF'S SEPARATE STATEMENTSpecifically, as to the deposition questions your client refused to respond to, I have repeatedly
asked for confirmation from you that those questions will be responded to in volume 2 (see
August 11, 12, 14 emails). You have ignored my requests for that confirmation. And without
that confirmation, it makes little sense to go through the time and expense of deposing
Defendant again. Martin Decl. ¥ 12, Ex, K, Mr. Martin's August 27, 2014 Meet and Confer
Leiter.
Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff’s Post-Deposition Meet and Confer Process:
Mr. Wilson cannot waive the privacy rights of persons who are not yet parties to this action,
Mr. Wilson has provided you information regarding his bank account. Id., Ms. Clifford’s
