RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO, 1: Not applicable. Plaintiff has not identified or mentioned
any documents on Interrogatory responses to this defendant.

information which intiff has provided to defendant, or which is equally available to
defendant. Plaintiff objects that this Request is vague, ambiguous and overly broad. Plaintiff
further objects to this Request on the grounds that it calls for expert opinions and conclusions
and therefore prematurely seeks disclosure of information which is properly the subject of

objects to this Request on the grounds and to the extent that it seeks information protected by

matter of this action, and information not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence. Plaintiff objects that this Request is vague, ambiguous and overly broad,
Plaintiff also objects to this Request on the grounds and to the extent it seeks information
protected by the attomey-client privilege and/or the attorney work-product doctrine.
