PLAINTIFF’S SEPARATE STATEMENT RE: FORM INTERROGATORIES, SET ONE
RESPONSE T0 FORM INTERROGATORYIJ:
Jonathan Garza and Victor Tao, JetCruzer (addresses omitted as these individuals may
be contacted exclusively through defense counsel); Angelica A. Samaniego, Varner & Brandt
LLP, 3750 University Avenue, Suite 610, Riverside, California, 92501, (951) 274-7777.
WHY FURTHER RESPONSE SHOULD NOT BE COMPELLED:
“the
Pursuant t0 Code of Civil Procedure § 2017.010 parties are entitled t0 discovery 0f
.” (Emphasis
identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter . . .
added.) The statute does not provide an absolute right t0 discovery of a witness’ specific address
disclosed. In other words, the means 0f locating and
as long as “the location” of the witness is
10 contacting the witness. In this particular instance, Plaintiff identified two witnesses who
Plaintiff, and
11 participated in the preparation of the interrogatory responses, as well as counsel for
12 identified them both as party-affiliated witnesses who may be contacted through counsel. One 0f

18 (rather than the more formal process of issuing and service 0f subpoenas) for requiring the presence
19 ofparty-affiliated witnesses to appear and testify at trial. Likewise, CCP § 2025.230 is 0fthe same
20 effect for requiring a party—affiliated witness t0 testify at a deposition. Both 0f these processes
provide for service of the Notice upon counsel for the pertinent party, rather than requiring

22 personal service of a subpoena upon the particular witness.
identifying these witnesses as party-affiliated witnesses, Plaintiff has availed these
less
23 By
24 stringent processes t0 Defendant. Since Plaintiff is required by the cited statutes to produce these
25 witnesses, there is n0 necessity for Defendant to have their individual residence addresses;
26 Defendant has all the means she needs t0 require these witnesses t0 appear and testify. Furthermore,
27 since they are party-affiliated witnesses who are authorized representatives of Plaintiff, defense
28 counsel is prohibited from making direct contact with them, 0r contacting them through a private
