Filing # 176629703 E-Filed 07/03/2023 12:28:30 PM IN THE CIRCUIT COURT, THIRD JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR MADISON COUNTY, FLORIDA. CASE NO. 2023-071-CA CENTRA NCFL PROPERTIES LLC, Plaintiff, VS. S & S SENIOR HOUSING OF MADISON, LLC; KENNETH MARK SIMONS; JAMES R. BAILEY; VICTOR W. MASON; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY; STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE; STEVE HALL CARPET & TILE, LLC; UNKNOWN TENANT 1; UNKNOWN TENANT 2; S & S SENIOR HOUSING OF BURNSVILLE, LLC; S & S SENIOR HOUSING OF LOUISBURG, LLC; and TROY & JENNY ENTERPRISES, INC., a Florida corporation, Defendants. DEFENDANT’S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION TO PLAINTIFF The Defendant, Troy & Jenny Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation, through the undersigned counsel, and pursuant to Rule 1.350, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, propounds the following Requests for Production to the Plaintiff, Centra NCFL Properties LLC (“Centra”), which shall be responded to within thirty (30) days from the date of service hereof. DEFINITIONS 1 The words "Centra" or "you" or "your" means the Plaintiff, Centra NCFL Properties LLC (“Centra” and all agents, employees, representatives or other persons or entities related to said party or acting on behalf of said party during any of the time periods identified in the Complaint. 1 Electronically Filed Madison Case # 2023000071CAAXMX 07/03/2023 12:28:30 PM 2 This Request for Production requests and shall be construed to include electronically stored information pursuant to Rule | .350(b), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. All data should be produced in its native format or as close to native as practicable (e.g., email in a PST file). Pictures of hard copy documents (TIFF, PDF, etc.) should only be created and produced after consultation with the undersigned attorney. 3 The word "Document" shall be defined to the broadest extent permitted under the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and includes the original and any non-identical copy (whether different from the original because of notes made on or attachments to such copy or because of metadata or otherwise) of all media by which data or information may be communicated or maintained including, without limitation, writings, drawings, graphs, charts, transcripts, photographs, film, videotapes, tapes, computer printouts, computer disks or tapes, data processing records, and other data compilations from which information can be obtained; all correspondence, telegrams, and other written communications, including without limitation electronic mail; all contracts, agreements, confirmations, invoices, receipts, adding machine tapes, calculations, ledgers, journals and books of account; all notes, memoranda, analyses, reports, studies, forecasts, work papers and minutes of meetings, all books, pamphlets, newspaper and periodical articles and clippings, lists, manuals, guides and tables; and all other written, printed, typed, recorded or graphic material of any nature whatsoever. The term document specifically includes drafts of any of the requested materials. 4 The word "Metadata" shall be defined to the broadest extent permitted under the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, and consists of information that is usually not visible to the user and reflects characteristics of the ESI (such as origin, usage, structure, and alteration). Systems and applications automatically generate most metadata. For example, metadata can describe how, when, and by whom ESI was created, accessed, and modified. Some metadata, such as file dates and sizes, can easily be seen by users. Other metadata is hidden or embedded and generally unavailable to computer users. There can be hundreds or even thousands of fields of metadata associated with an individual file. In fact, some ESI may be comprised more of metadata than data. 5 The words "Native format" shall be defined to the broadest extent permitted under the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, and consists of electronically stored information in a reasonably usable form so that is searchable. A native format production consists of responsive ESI in the form that it is ordinarily maintained on the producing party's systems, and it usually includes the metadata associated with the documents. The benefits of native production include likely savings in costs and time compared to other formats, which require conversion of the ESI into images and associated load files, and avoiding later disputes over whether the format selected was reasonably usable. Many review tools allow for common native file types to be viewed on the review platform, making it unnecessary to manually open each file in the associated application. [Example: Native format is the file structure of an electronic document as defined by the original creating application. If a spreadsheet was created using Microsoft Excel, then the native format of the spreadsheet would be its original Microsoft Excel format. If the producing party takes native documents and converts them to another electronic format such as searchable PDFs, RTF files, MHT files etc., the resultant production is not in native format.] 6. The words "Person" or "Persons" mean all natural persons ("individual" or "individuals") and entities, including without limitation: corporations, companies, partnerships, limited partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, estates, associations, public agencies, departments, bureaus and boards. 7 The word "Communication" means every manner or means of disclosure, transfer or exchange, and every disclosure, transfer or exchange, of information whether orally or face-to- face, or by telephone, mail, E-Mail, personal delivery, document, computer transmission, interactive medium transmission, or otherwise. 8 The word "Electronic data" means all information stored in a digital format. Electronic data includes, but is not limited to, electronic mail messages and attachments, contacts, journal entries, calendar entries, word processing documents, spreadsheets, databases including all records and fields and structural information, charts, graphs, and any and all miscellaneous files responsive to the following requests. The responding party is expected to search for any and all information stored on smart phones, tablets, hard disks, floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, USB devices, Personal Digital Assistants (such as Palm Pilots, Blackberrys and Treos), and in any other vehicle for digital data storage and/or transmittal. The term electronic data also includes the file, folder tabs and/or containers and labels appended to, or associated with, any physical storage device associated with the information described above. 9.
