Defendants.
I, Christine Mercado-Spies, of full age, hereby certify the following:
1. I am an attorney-at-law admitted to practice in New Jersey and am associated with
Cooper Maren Nitsberg Voss & DeCoursey, the attorneys of record for Defendants, Mohammed
F. Ahmed and Shihab Ahmed. I am assigned to the management of this file. I am making this
certification in support of my client's Motion to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint without prejudice for
failure to provide certified Answers to Interrogatories, failure to respond to Notice to Produce, and
failure to provide Medical Authorizations. I am making this Certification upon personal knowledge
unless otherwise indicated.
2. The within cause of action stems from an automobile accident which occurred on
12/12/2018. Plaintiff allegedly sustained personal injuries as a result of that accident.
CAM-L-001949-20 10/07/2020 8:10:20 AM Pg 4 of 8 Trans ID: LCV20201776005
3. On July 30, 2020, I served Interrogatories and a Notice to Produce upon Plaintiff’s
attorney, John D. Borbi, Esq. In addition, to the demand for Answers to Interrogatories and
Production of Documents, a Demand for signed HIPAA authorizations for all treating providers
was made, pursuant to Rule 4:17-4(f).
4. To date, responses to our Interrogatories, Notice to Produce, and HIPAA
Authorizations have not been received.
5. My adversary has not moved for any extended time in which to provide the response
to our discovery nor has the Court enlarged that time.
6. Pursuant to Rule 1:6-2(c), on or about September 9, 2020, a “good faith” letter was
sent to Plaintiff’s attorney, John D. Borbi, Esq., reminding counsel that the discovery responses were
overdue and further advising that this motion would be filed unless the responses were forthcoming.
7. Despite this good faith attempt to resolve the issue raised by this motion, my adversary
has not yet provided requested discovery.
8. The requested discovery sought is essential to a full defense of this matter.
9. Defendant is not in default in any discovery obligation owed to the delinquent party.
I hereby certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if any
of the foregoing statements made by me are willfully false, I am subject to punishment.
