Subject: RE: Tekiner v. Bremen House - August 4 production & scheduling of depositions [PIB-LEGAL_DMS.FID449713]
Importance: Normal
Sensitivity: None
Scott,
As you know, you and your client have made a series of voluminous, repetitive, and overbroad requests for materials –
including, as you now concede, requests seeking information already in your possession. We are working diligently to make
accessible certain Company records as we committed, and anticipate making a further production this week (to be followed
by additional rolling productions as necessary). This is entirely consistent with the spirit and letter of our agreement, and any
duplication you identify is singularly the result of the untargeted and unspecific nature of your client’s requests.
Regarding deposition scheduling, your feigned indignation is not credible and not in good faith. When we conferred
regarding you and your client’s information requests, we specifically and expressly discussed that addressing your and your
client’s requests would be time-intensive, and you repeatedly stated that you understood. That you immediately followed
up those discussions by pressing for deposition dates – even though the fact discovery deadline has now been extended and
is more than two months away – smacks of unnecessary gamesmanship. In any event, we are generally available next
Tuesday and Wednesday to confer regarding scheduling (we have a court appearance on Monday, as you will recall).
Last, please promptly provide an unsealed/unredacted copy of NYSCEF Dkt. No. 550. We do not have it, as it is our
understanding that it was never provided to predecessor counsel.
Sincerely,
Meghan

Subject: Tekiner v. Bremen House - August 4 production & scheduling of depositions [PIB-LEGAL_DMS.FID449713]
Meghan, we have reviewed your production of seven documents on August 4, in furtherance of your commitment that your
clients would begin to produce or make accessible the Company’s books and records by that date. Out of 866 pages that you
produced to us, however, only 11 pages of that production (i.e., 0.013%) were new: BREM00357123-BREM00357128, which is a
lease abstract relating to 1929 E. Garrison Blvd. in Gastonia, North Carolina. The remaining pages have all previously produced
by your clients:

Your nearly entirely duplicative production is, to say the least, disappointing and inconsistent with the spirit of our
agreement, which we negotiated with you in good faith. Please advise right away exactly when you anticipate producing the
bulk of the balance of the documents, beyond the 11 new pages that you have produced thus far. As you know, a special
meeting is scheduled to be held in less than three weeks, and our written questions to your clients are due to you by August
15 – i.e., six days away.
Additionally, it has now been 14 days since we asked you to address the potential deposition dates for Jasmin, Gonca, and
Berrin. We have written to you multiple times about this issue, we have asked for your availability for a call, and we have
tried to called you – and every single one of our outreaches has gone unanswered by you. Frankly, behavior like this is
reminiscent of your predecessor counsel. Once again, we ask you to let us know when you are available for a call to discuss.
If you continue to ignore our requests to schedule these depositions, we reserve the right to seek appropriate relief from the
Court.
Regards,
Scott

Meghan, hope all is well and that you had a good weekend. We wanted to touch base on the anticipated production of the
books and records documents – while we had agreed that your clients would begin to produce or make accessible those
documents by August 4, you had indicated that you would make every effort to begin that production in advance of that date,
so we just wanted to get a sense of where things stood.
Also, we are circling back on our correspondence below regarding depositions, and in particular, the need to lock down dates
as soon as possible for Jasmin, Gonca and Berrin. We would like to schedule those depositions around the end of August /
beginning of September. Would you please let us know.
Best,
Scott

Meghan, we are just circling back on the proposed stipulations. Also, we need to begin rescheduling the depositions, which
we would like to move forward with shortly after oral argument on August 15, considering the volume of depositions that we
need to get through and the likely close of fact discovery at the end of September. At minimum, we would like to lock down

motion for contempt, and the oral argument date for motions 21, 22, 23, and 32 (which has already been set by the Court, but
which we include here as a matter of completeness).

Hi Meghan – I don’t think we can strike that provision. We certainly understand the concern you raised about jamming expert
witness discovery. But we still need to have an end date for all discovery, and we think the judge will be expecting it. That
being said, I think that we can accomplish the same objective by leaving that provision in, but changing the discovery end
date to December 27, 2022. Let me know what you think.
I’ll send you the other stipulation regarding motion deadlines tomorrow morning.
Best,
Scott

Scott – after we spoke about the discovery deadlines yesterday, you asked me to send you any revisions to your stip. We
propose eliminating one date, as discussed:
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the undersigned attorneys for the parties
that:
1. The deadline to complete fact discovery shall be October 17, 2022;
2. The deadline for CPLR 3101(d) expert disclosure shall be November 15, 2022;
3. The end date for all discovery shall be December 15, 2022;
4. The deadline to file the note of issue shall be December 28, 2022;
5. The deadline for filing dispositive motions shall be January 27, 2023; and
We think this change addresses the concerns about jamming up expert witness discovery. Let us know if you are in
agreement so we can get the discovery stip finalized.
Meghan

Meghan, we took the liberty of preparing the proposed stipulation as to discovery/NOI/dispositive motion deadlines. It is
attached, and it follows the prior form of stipulation that Judge Cohen previously approved. (And you are correct, the
deadline for the NOI is in fact 12/28/22.) If acceptable, would you please execute, and we will gladly arrange to have it filed
with the court.
We have also prepared a stipulation addressing motion briefing deadlines (and the August 5 deadline for Defendants to
respond to the Second Amended Complaint), but we will hold off on circulating that until after we’ve sorted out the issues
